As long as desires are fresh, faith is not

[Guest guest]

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

 

Refresh your faith, but not with talking.

You have secretly refreshed your desires.

As long as desires are fresh, faith is not;

for it is these desires that lock that gate.

 

- Rumi
