A Special State of Inner Harmony

Poem:

Everyone expects that everything should go smoothly. The fact that it won’t is a sad admission. The default human philosophy is basically broken. Everyone is born like a caterpillar and must undergo transformation to be able to fly and become a butterfly. Life demands a revolution. I am just intuning Darshan Singh’s poetic institution. I’m stuck in the cocoon trying to get more room. If I become very aggressive I will break out of my shell the embryonic ego. But it will come with routine practice. At the current pace poems might fill up the room. Can you crash open a door with poetry? I should just ask questions. You can start at the very beginning. In Zen learning you don’t learn anything. You actually shrink instead of expand. Western living is by its nature inflammation. Instead of red your face should be pale. You can actually save yourself by not eating. Just intone a mantra and see where it takes ya. Total Death and annihilation early takes away all the hurry. I have an enlightened Master this should not be a mystery. Love and Devotion takes away all resistance. Finding time for contemplation is easy, people have too much time and run away from themselves by using a TV. If you simply sit in your home  you can concentrate and be alone. Self realization makes for subsequent better social interaction without a state of acrimony. If I played notes like I write poetry I would be a composer already. It seems I require first a special state of inner harmony. DS Poem August 1, 2018

Yes. The English paraphrase on the page (“If you are not handsome then be Jacob”) captures the basic idea, but some of the richness of Rumi’s Persian is hidden. The crucial verse is: تو که یوسف نیستی
