To the aspirant
On the
Path
When one begins
On the
Path
When one begins
To believe and
Act
As if the ten thousand idiots
As if the ten thousand idiots
Who so long ruled
And lived
Inside
Have all packed their bags
And lived
Inside
Have all packed their bags
And skipped town
Or
Died.
Or
Died.
-- Hafiz of Shiraz (1310-1390), Sufi, one of the greatest Persian lyric poets
