Treasures: A Rumi Secret
Organs Arise In Response To Necessity. So Increase Your Necessity.
“The degree of necessity determines the development of organs in man… therefore increase your necessity.”
― Idries Shah, The Way of the Sufi
“New organs of perception come into being as a result of necessity. Therefore, O man, increase your necessity, so that you may increase your perception.” - Rumi
💡
To help conceive of this and say it as a process,
if the necessity increases, new organs of perception come into being to accommodate that necessity.
This is similar to science's recent finding [according to Peterson] that DNA actualizes when a human enters into new territory. Exposure causes actualization.

P.S.
The word organs is a special Sufi word. This is worth meditating on to wonder at what it means.
