Fw: [Hafiz] ACT GREAT

[Guest guest]

- Joseph Riley

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of

truthand love have always won. There have been tyrants, and

murderers, andfor a time they can seem invincible, but in the end

they always fall.Think of it ... always."

Mahatma Gandhi

ACT GREAT

What is the keyTo untie the knot of your mind’s suffering?

WhatIs the esoteric secretTo slay the crazed one whom each of usDid wed

And who can ruinOur heart’s and eye’s exquisite tenderLandscape?

Hafiz has foundTwo emerald words thatRestoredMe

That I now cling to as I would sacredTresses of my Beloved’s Hair:

Act great.My dear, always act great.

What is the keyTo untie the knot of the mind’s suffering?

Benevolent thought, soundAnd movement.
