Discourses of Rumi

206 V DISCOURSES OF RUMIreject the Vision of God, saying, “If you canbecome bored with what you see, this cannot betruth.” The Sunni theologians say, “This couldoccur only if God was single-colored. But in truthHe comes forth in a hundred colors, everyinstant.”“Every day He is upon a task.”If God should reveal Itself a hundred thousandtimes, not one moment would resemble another.Every instant you see God’s display and yet noteven one act resembles another. In times of happinessyou see one display, in times of weeping youfind another. During moments of fear you see oneface, during hope another. Since God’s creationsand His acts vary infinitely, not one like another,so you can be sure the display of His Essence alsovaries endlessly. You, too, being a single spark ofGod’s flame, change a thousand times everyinstant and never stay the same.There are certain seekers of God who proceedfrom the Koran to God. Others more elect comefrom God, find the Koran here, and know thatGod has sent it down.
