Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` Since the shining truth is a cause of tranquility, the heart will not be calmed by lying words. Falsehood is like a piece of straw, and the heart like a mouth: a straw never remains quietly hidden in the mouth. As long as it's there, the one annoyed by it keeps moving his tongue, so that he may rid his mouth of it. - Rumi ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski " Rumi: Jewels of Remembrance " Threshold Books, 1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
