"Abundance is seeking the beggars and the poor, just as beauty seeks a mirror.
Beggars, then, are the mirrors of God’s bounty,
and they that are with God are united
with Absolute Abundance."
-Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi (13th c.)
"We are the “poor” in relation to Absolute Abundance.
We are also mirrors, reflectors of that Abundance and all Its Qualities.
Our purpose as mirrors is to manifest those qualities in our actions and relationships."
-Kabir Helminski,
