Quote by Rumi

If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.

If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the perception of spirituality or divinity is subjective and depends on one's level of devotion or love for God. It implies that those who possess a sincere connection with God can find spiritual significance in mundane objects like a cup of water, perceiving it as a reflection of the divine. However, individuals who lack this deep connection or love for God will only see their own egos or materialistic desires reflected in the same object. The quote encourages a perspective in which even ordinary experiences can be seen as sacred when viewed through the lens of love for the divine.
