There's a radical reversal hiding in these words: Rumi isn't asking you to find work that pays the bills and love it afterward. He's suggesting that beauty itself—the aesthetic pull, the magnetic attraction—is already your compass pointing toward purpose. A surgeon might spend decades perfecting technique in service of healing, but if she's drawn to the precision of the work, the elegance of a well-executed repair, then she's following this principle. What makes this different from "do what you love" platitudes is that Rumi centers *beauty* as the evidence of alignment, not passion alone. Beauty has rigor to it; it demands your attention and skill. It's less about chasing happiness and more about recognizing where your admiration already lives.
