All the classes you have sat in
All the teachers you have listened to
All the money you have payed
For truth

Something must be wrong

If your eye still wanders through the streets
Acting like a begger.

Why not try this?

Let all those fake teachers starve.

Picture one of the great masters
In your mind,
Put your lips against his cheek
Each morning.

Say, keep saying,
“Dear Beloved, pinch me.
I want proof
You’re near—
A love-bruise on my rump will do.”

The Friend is an unfathomable well
That knows everything;
Draw from that safe luminous sky.

Stay near this book,
It will stretch out its leg and
Trip you;
You’ll fall
Into
Love.

- Hafiz
