“And so it is, that both the devil and the angelic spirits present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice.”
— Rumi

Simplified Meaning:
Every day, we come across things we want or find attractive. Sometimes these things are good for us, like healthy food or a kind friend. Other times, they might be bad, like junk food or bad habits. This quote explains that both good and bad things are put in front of us to help us make decisions. Think about choosing between studying for a test or playing video games. Studying might seem hard but it leads to good results, while playing video games is fun but might lead to poor grades. By making these choices, we learn to decide what's best for us. So, someone using this advice in their life learns to recognize their choices and thinks carefully about the consequences of their actions.
