The poetry of Hafiz, Rumi and Ryokan is just fucking awesome. Some of their stuff gets to me so much deeper than even a good meditation session. 

Here is one, hope you guys can share stuff you’ve found and a can all lighten this place up a bit.

@Hafiz Well, just remember that their poetry wasn’t in English. It definitely would have sounded a lot better in their respective languages as that was the one they intended on. I notice that with the Quran as well. It will always sound better in Arabic rather than in any other language. Same to Ryokan.

"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie
