and what does Rumi have to say?
In a fair orchard, full of trees and fruit
And vines and greenery, a Sufi sat withEyes closed,
his head upon his knees,
Sunk deep in meditation, mystical.
“Why,” asked another, “dost thou not behold
These signs of God the merciful displayed Around thee,
which He bids us contemplate?”
“The signs,” he answered, “I behold within;
Without are not but symbols of the Signs.”
Rumi, from Rumi and the Whirling Dervishes by Shems Friedlander
Within - the signs are within... outside there are symbols, beautiful, interesting, fascinating, helpful, real symbols but they are not the real thing, not The Devine
