About This Quote
The one who love power becomes dictator and one who admires power becomes slave. The person who loves power will become the dictator and the person who admires power will become a slave. In this quote, Rumi is comparing love of power to slavery. For example, Hitler loved the idea of being a dictator and eventually became a dictator.
We can also see this in our world today. Many people despise having to share their freedom with others, preferring to be free on their own. They believe that freedom for themselves is a gift of nature and a right of all men.
