RADICAL TAO: November 2009

I have a thousand brilliant lies

For the question:

Who are you?

I have a thousand brilliant lies

For the question:

What is God?

If you think that the Truth can be known

From words,

If you think that the Sun and the Ocean

Can pass through that tiny opening called the mouth,

O someone should start laughing!

Someone should start wildly laughing – Now!

Hafiz

I searched for my Self

until I grew weary,

but no one, I know now,

reaches the hidden knowledge

by means of effort.

Then, absorbed in “Thou art This,”

I found the place of Wine.

There all the jars are filled,

but no one is left to drink.

Lalla

I am a sky where spirits live.

Stare into this deepening blue..

while the breeze says a secret...

Like this.

Rumi
