The Spirit Is Your True Reality, Not The Ego by professor Timothy Winters( Abdal Hakim Murad ) of Cambridge University. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Mtps_c0Wcoo

Maulana Jalal Uddin Rumi was born in Balkh, Afghanistan. He died in 1207 in Konya, Turkey and is burried there. 1273. Below is a selection from his Masnavi. His face is set toward (devoted to) the Beloved(God), ... Look long on the face of everyone, watch attentively; Since many a devil hath the face of Adam, you should not put a hand in every hand; For as the fowler whistles to decoy a bird he is bent on catching, Which hears the notes of its mate and comes down from the air and finds itself entrapped, So does a vile man steals the language of dervishes To fascinate and deceive one who is simple. The work of holy men is as light and heat; The work of the ungodly is trickery and shamelessness.
