The following, my friend, I believe you will read and understand.
Overturn your speech and utterance,
keep vain imagining away.
Walk not in the movements of Before
and After. And pass through the desert
of human order and institutions.
Wander as though mad with love among
those who are distracted by love,
and grasp the upward leading sense
that you may become a bird flying
between mountains and hills; mountains
of intellectualism and hills of self-
esteem, in order that you may see what
is there, and that you may become the
sword of the one who strikes in the
secret mosque.
Al Hallas.
