THE MORNING POEM

About this episode

Forget every idea of right and wrong any classroom ever taught youBecause an empty heart, a tormented mind, unkindness, jealousy and fearAre always the testimony you have been completely fooled!Turn your back on those who would imprison your wondrous spiritWith deceit and lies.Come, join the honest company of the King’s beggars -Those gamblers, scoundrels and divine clowns and those astonishing fair courtesansWho need Divine Love every night.Come, join the courageous who have no choice but to bet their entire worldThat indeed, indeed, God is real.I will lead you into the circle of the Beloved’s cunning thieves,Those playful royal rogues, the ones you can trust for true guidance -Who can aid you in this blessed calamity of life.Hafiz, look at the Perfect One at the circle’s center:He spins and whirls like a Golden Compass, beyond all that is rational,To show this dear world that everything, everything in existenceDoes point to God - Hafiz
