Poem by Rumi, from "The Purity of Desire" by Daniel Ladinsky

lyrics

Cleanliness and being well mannered would
make you suspect in some circles I travel in.
Clothes that aren’t soiled and smell too sweet,
what do they know about rolling around the
ground in ecstasy?
Love inspired Mount Sinai to become a pillar
capable of holding up the impetus of all desire.
You have seen how a carpet is beaten to remove
the dirt.
Go to someone who has the power to hold you
upside-down, or turn you inside-out and club all
your hidden arrogance to death. That will help
your sadness to die.
