Your body is woven
from the light of heaven.
Are you aware
that its purity and swiftness
is the envy of angels
and its courage
keeps even devils away.

Additional quotes by Rumi

let's get away from
all the clever humans
who put words in our mouth
let's only say what our hearts desire.

This that we are now created the body, cell by cell, like bees building a honeycomb. The human body and the universe grew from this, not this from the universe and the human body.

جسمنا يشبه مريم العذراء: كل واحد منا يحمل عيسى بداخله. لكن مالم تظهر فينا آلام المخاض فإن عيسانا لا يولد.

Your body is woven from the light of heaven. Are you aware that its purity and swiftness is the envy of angels and its courage keeps even devils away. - Rumi
