THE GUEST HOUSE
This being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival.A joy, a depression, a meanness,some momentary awareness comesas an unexpected visitor.Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,who violently sweep your houseempty of its furniture,still, treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you outfor some new delight.The dark thought, the shame, the malice,meet them at the door laughing,and invite them in.Be grateful for whoever comes,because each has been sentas a guide from beyond.
Rumitranslated by Coleman Barks
Ghazal 609, from the Diwan-e Shams
if you dwell very longin a heart depressed and darkbe aware you've fallen lowin will and quest
a heart filled with griefwhirling and spinning endlesslycan never feel at peace
what makes youtremble in fearthat's your true worth now
whatever seems to beyour healing sourceis the cause of your pain
whatever you thinkis sure secure and foreveris what has hunted you down
whenever your mind fliesit can only landin the house of madness
whenever love arrivesthere is no more spacefor your self claim
a heart filled with loveis like a phoenixthat no cage can imprison
such a bird can only flyabove and beyondany known universe
--Rumi(translated by Nader Khalili)
