beautiful poetry

this is what my new turk friend showed me




Seven advices of MEVLANA
In generosity and helping others,


be like a river…
In compassion and grace,


be like sun…
In concealing others’ faults,


be like night…
In anger and fury,


be like dead…
In modesty and humility,


be like earth…
In tolerance,


be like a sea…
Either exist as you are, or be as you look.
