blog of revelations IV

Uninterpreted and partially translated fragments from Baba Bektashi:

When the soul hears its song, it stones the gypsy.

The dancers leave, the holy return.

A cradle falls, a killer dies.

Doubly love the Sultan as his reign may be short.

Egoist, permit no problems in your world; saint, no solutions.

If you have seen it all before, you are blind; if you have heard it, you are deaf. As for knowing...

A dervish can fart.

-Hank
