Find a Better Job

From The Gift, Poems by Hafiz, The Great Sufi Master, translation by Daniel Ladinsky. This…

Now

That

All your worry

Has proved such an

Unlucrative

Business,

Why 

Not

Find a better

Job.

Indeed.

I was thinking how this wisdom would also be true if I substituted other words for worry…like judgment, anger, frustration, control, guilt. I’d much rather find a better job…like kindness, patience, acceptance, deep joy.

Or the greatest job in the world…seeing God, the Divine, Love Itself, in every living being, in everything.

BTW…No resume required.
Much love.
