Zero Circle Poem by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

Zero Circle

Rating: 3.2


Be helpless, dumbfounded,
Unable to say yes or no.
Then a stretcher will come from grace
To gather us up.

We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty
If we say we can, we’re lying.
If we say No, we don’t see it,
That No will behead us
And shut tight our window onto spirit.

So let us rather not be sure of anything,
Besides ourselves, and only that, so
Miraculous beings come running to help.
Crazed, lying in a zero circle, mute,
We shall be saying finally,
With tremendous eloquence, Lead us.
When we have totally surrendered to that beauty,
We shall be a mighty kindness.

We are too dull-eyed to see that beauty If we say we can, we’re lying. If we say No, we don’t see it, mystical thinking of the great Rumi
