The indian tree bone song By coleman barks (Rumi)




Move beyond any attachment to names,
every war and every conflict between human being has happened because of some disagreement about names ,
it is such an unnecessary foolishness, 
because just beyond the arguing, 
there is a long table of companionship set and waiting for us to sit down ,
what is praised is one , 
and so the praise is one too. 
many jugs are poured into a  huge basin, 
all religions, 
all this singing , 
one song , 
the differences are just illusion and vanity.
sunlight looks slighlty different on this wall, 
then it does on that wall 
and a lot different on this other one,
but it is still one light. 
we have borrought  these clooths ,
these time and space personalities from a light 
and when we praise 
we are pouring them back in , 
what is praised is one, 
and so the praise is one too. 
many jugs  being poured in a huge basin, 
all religions, 
all this singing ,
one song. 
the differences are just illusions and vanity,
sunlight looks slighlty different on this wall,
then it does on that wall 
and a lot different on this other one,  
but it is still one light. 
we have borrought  these clothes, 
these time and space personalities from a light 
and when we praise,
 we are pouring them back in.
