Rumi's Mirror

What will you offer Him? What gift is best when He wants for nothing, and the worlds are but dust to Him? Would you carry water to the sea or bring light to the sun? Rumi says, "Bring Him a mirror." But even this is not fitting except that you become the mirror. Surrender to Him what He gave you; your life, your will, all that you are or ever will be. The one who offers this becomes the gift and one with the Giver.
