HIDDEN VIRTUES

February 22, 2008

The moment the lover found himself alone with his mistress, he attempted to embrace her, but his mistress repulsed him, saying, that though no men ‘were present, yet the wind was blowing and that showed that Allah, the mover of the wind, was present.

The lover replied, “It may be I am lacking in good manners, but I am not lacking in constancy and fidelity towards you.” His mistress replied, “One must judge the hidden by the manifest. I see for myself that your outward behaviour is bad, and thence I cannot but infer that your boast of hidden virtues is not warranted by actual facts. You are ashamed to misconduct yourself in the sight of men, but have no scruples to do so in the presence of the All-seeing Allah, and hence I doubt the existence of the virtuous sentiments which you claim to possess, but which can only be known to yourself.” [RUMI]
