The Guest House ~ Rumi ~

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing,

and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

客栈- 鲁米

人生好比一个客栈，

每个早晨都有旅客前来。

有愉悦的、有悲伤的、也有卑劣刻薄的旅客

在某些瞬然的片刻

就如意外的旅客翩然到访，

欢迎并热情招待他们每一个!

即使他们是一群恐怖的悲伤情绪，

狂暴的破坏你的房子

将你房内的家具一扫而空，

也要如上宾的招待他们。

因为他可能带来某些崭新的欢悦

涤净你的心灵。

无论是来的是灰黯的念头、羞愧的情绪

或是邪恶的想法，

都要在门口笑脸相迎，

欢迎它们进入你的内心。

对任何访客都要心存感恩，

因为他们每一位

都是上天派来的向导。
