Seven Advice from
Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
-------------------------------
In generosity and helping others, be like a river.
In compassion and grace, be like the sun.
In concealing other's faults, be like the night.
In anger and fury, be like dead.
In modesty and humility, be like the earth.
In tolerance, be like the sea.
Either appear as you are, or be as you appear.

And another saying from him

"Come, come again, whoever you are, come!
Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come!
Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times,
Ours is the portal of hope, come as you are."
