Listen dear friends to the story of Maulana Rumi
Who was generally involved with teaching.
While being unaware of the ways of the path (Sulook).
Being involved with external knowledge at all times,
His lecturing pursuits had become famous all around,
While for him hard was the contact with the path.
For arrogance through knowledge keeps the men of knowledge
Far away from Allah Ta'ala.
Object of all knowledge is to attain Divine Love
Apart from that all is mere conceit.
But him on whom Allah Ta'ala's Grace shines,
One day he will become Allah Ta'ala's favorite.
In this way Allah Ta'ala's Grace shone on Maulana Rumi
And from the unseen, Allah Ta'ala's help reached him.
All achievements are achieved through Divine Grace
And without His favor nothing is accomplished
