Exert Yourselves A Rumi excerpt

Exert Yourselves "Trust in God, yet tie the camel's leg.' Hear the adage, 'The worker is the friend of God'; Through trust in Providence neglect not to use means. Go, O Fatalists, practise trust with self-exertion, Exert yourself to attain your objects, bit by bit. In order to succeed, strive and exert yourselves; If you strive not for your objects, ye are fools." Sign in to see full entry.
