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.

人生好比一個(gè)客棧,
每個(gè)早晨都有旅客前來。
有愉悅的、有悲傷的、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訪,
歡迎并熱情招待他們每一個(gè)!
即使他們是一群恐怖的悲傷情緒,
狂暴的破壞你的房子
將你房內(nèi)的家具一掃而空,
也要如上賓的招待他們。
因?yàn)樗赡軒砟承湫碌臍g悅
滌凈你的心靈。
無論是來的是灰黯的念頭、羞愧的情緒
或是邪惡的想法,
都要在門口笑臉相迎,
歡迎它們進(jìn)入你的內(nèi)心。
對任何訪客都要心存感恩,
