Let go of your worries

Let go of your worries.

and be completely clear-hearted,

like the face of a mirror.

that contains no images.

If you want a clear mirror,

behold yourself

and see the shameless truth,

which the mirror reflects.

If metal can be polished

to a mirror-like finish,

what polishing might the mirror

of the heart require?

Between the mirror and the heart

is this single difference:

the heart conceals secrets,

while the mirror does not.

The Divani Shamsi Tabriz, XIII

Behold the spirit

While still in the cage of your being

behold the spirit bird before it flies away
