Abundance is seeking the beggars and the poor,
just as beauty seeks a mirror.
Beggars, then, are the mirrors of God's abundance,
and they that are with God are
united with Absolute Abundance.
Mathnawi 1, 2745 - 2750
Someone says "I can't help feeding my family.
I have to work so hard to earn a living.
He can do without God, but not without food;
he can do without Religion,
but not without idols.
Where is one who will say,
"If I eat bread without the awareness of God,
I will choke."
Mathnawi 2, 3071-79
