Khalifa asked Laila, "Are you the one who drove Majnoon crazy with her beauty? But you are not better than other beauties!". Laila replied, "Be quiet, since you are not Majnoon. If you had Majnoon's eyes, then you would have preferred me over two worlds. You are conscious and alert but Majnoon was in ecstasy in my love. Remember, a true lover, should be remain in consciousness" [Story from Masnavi by Mevlana Rum - Volume 1] #rumi
