This world is a dream — don't be deluded;

if in a dream a hand is lost, it's no harm.

In dreams, no real damage is done if the

body is maimed or torn in two hundred pieces.

The Prophet said of this apparently substantial

world that it is but the sleeper's dream.

You've accepted this as an idea, but the spiritual

traveler has beheld this truth with an open eye.

You are asleep in the daytime; don't say this is

not sleep.

 

- Rumi
