Analysis of There is a life-force within your soul
Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207 (Balkh) – 1273 (Konya )
There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that
mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.
