The Quran is like a young married woman: even if you try to unveil her she will not show herself to you. If you discuss the Quran you will discover nothing and no joy will come to you. That is because you have tried to pull off the veil and the Quran refuses itself to you; by employing cunning and making itself ugly in your sight and undesirable, it is saying to you: ‘I am not that which you love.’ And it can in this manner show itself under any kind of light. ~ Jalaluddin Rumi, Fihi ma fihi (Arabic: فیه مافیه) [photo source] -- source link
