the center within you

I died as a mineral and became a plant;

I died as a plant and rose to animal;

I died as animal and I was a (hu)man;

Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

Yet once more I shall die as a man to soar

With angels blest. But even from an angel

I must pass on: all except God must perish.

When I have sacrificed my angel soul,

I shall become what no mind ever conceived.

Rumi
