Poem:

Sometimes when I read the words of the Masters, the words get stuck in my understanding, this is to me an advantage: for example Darshan said “True mysticism compels us to pursue life’s supreme goal unwaveringly. It focuses its attention constantly on that Divine Power which is indivisible, complete, and perfect in itself.” Page 27, My Concept of Poetry. Now what if I focus constantly on this quotation? - “focuses its attention constantly” is a longer time period than long hours! Now in Kirpal Singh, Man Know Thyself he says: “Saints say that Nature has designed man to leave his physical body at will, transcend to higher spiritual planes, and then return to the body” (Life beyond Death) page 11. So I should take this as a part of Nature and significant skill to develop? So if I contemplate these words my mind can fixate on something great. So I can enhance contemplation. With a lot of Simran I can cure the stupidity in my head. I ignore any pains and consider the body an illusion. Others often cause confusion. So I have to keep my goals in my head.

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
