    Rumi puts a prose prayer at the beginning of each book of the

    Mathnawi. Here is the blessing he gives before Book IV.

    Praise to Early- Waking Grievers

    In the name of God the Most Merciful, and the Most Compassionate.

    This is the fourth journey toward home, toward where the great advantages

    are waiting for us. Reading it, mystics will feel very happy, as a meadow

    feels when it hears thunder, the good news of rain coming, as tired eyes look

    forward to sleeping. Joy for the spirit, health for the body. In here is what

    genuine devotion wants, refreshment, sweet fruit ripe enough for the pickiest

    picker, medicine, detailed directions on how to get to the Friend. All praise

    to God. Here is the way to renew connection with your soul, and rest from

    difficulties. The study of this book will be painful to those who feel separate

    from God. It will make the others grateful. In the hold of this ship is a cargo

    not found in the attractiveness of young women. Here is a reward for lovers

    of God. A full moon and an inheritance you thought you had lost are now

    returned to you. More hope for the hopeful, lucky finds for foragers,

    wonderful things thought of to do. Anticipation after depression, expanding

    after contraction. The sun comes out, and that light is what we give, in this

    book, to our spiritual descendants. Our gratitude to God holds them to us,

    and brings more besides. As the Andalusian poet, Adi aI-Riga, says,

    I was sleeping, and being comforted by a cool breeze, when suddenly a gray

    dove from a thicket sang and sobbed with longing, and reminded me of my

    own passion. I had been away from my own soul so long, so late-sleeping,

    but that dove's crying woke me and made me cry. Praise to all early-waking

    grievers!

    Some go first, and others come long afterward. God blesses both and all in

    the line, and replaces what has been consumed, and provides for, those who

    work the soil of helpfulness, and blesses Muhammad and Jesus and every

    other messenger and prophet. Amen, and may the Lord of all created beings

    bless you.
