For the Busybodies, Fusspots, Tattletales and Scolds in Our Lives

Stop Being So Religious

What
Do sad people have in
Common?

It seems
They have all built a shrine
To the past

And often go there
And do a strange wail and
Worship.

What is the beginning of
Happiness?

It is to stop being
So religious

Like

That.

The Gift: Poems By Hafiz The Great Sufi Master, p. 119

  1. I love that book. Hafiz is such an adorable clown. We need silly sages like him at all times, at this time, all the time.
