Peaceful Path

And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge

And he answered saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets
   of the days and the nights. 
But your ears thirst for the sound
   of your heart's knowledge. 
You would know in words that which
you have always known in thought. 

Say not, "I have found the truth,"
   but rather, "I have found a truth."
Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."
Say rather, "I have found the soul walking along my path." 

For the soul walks along all paths.

The soul walks upon not as line,
   neither does it grow like a reed.

The soul unfolds itself
   like a lotus of countless pedals. 

                     - Kahlil Gilbran
