周末荐读 | 鲁米：让我们谈谈灵魂

◆

Your task is not to seek for love, 

but merely to seek and find 

all the barriers within yourself 

that you have built against it.

你的任务不是寻找爱

而仅仅是寻找和发现

所有你建立的阻止它进入的阻碍

◇

What you seek is seeking you.

你正在寻找的东西也在寻找你

◆

Let yourself be silently drawn by the 

stronger pull of that which you truly love.

It will not lead you astray.

让你自己被真正所爱的东西的强大的力量

所默默牵引 

它不会让你误入歧途

◇

Yesterday I was clever, 

so I wanted to change the world. 

Today I am wise, 

so I am changing myself.

昨天的我聪明

想去改变这个世界

今天的我智慧

正在改变我自己

◆

There is a candle in your heart, 

ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, 

ready to be filled.
You feel it, don’t you?

在你心中有一只蜡烛

准备好被点燃

在你的灵魂中有一块虚空

准备好被充满

你感受到了它，是不是？

◇

Darkness may hide the trees

and the flowers from the eyes

but it cannot hide

love from the soul.

黑暗可能会隐藏掉

你眼中的花儿和树木

但它不能隐藏

来自灵魂的爱

◆

I want that love that moved the mountains.

I want that love that split the ocean.

I want that love that 

made the winds tremble.

I want that love that roared like thunder.

I want that love that will raise the dead.

I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy.

I want that love that

 is the silence of eternity

我想要这样的爱，移动山丘

我想要这样的爱，分裂海洋

我想要这样的爱，让风颤抖

我想要这样的爱，如雷鸣般颤动

我想要这样的爱，超越死亡

我想要这样的爱，让我们坠入狂喜

我想要这样的爱，是永恒的静谧

◇

Lose yourself,

lose yourself in this love.

When you lose yourself in this love, 

you will find everything

保持无我

在这爱里保持无我

当你在这爱里放下小我

你将发现所有

◆

Let the beauty we love be what we do.

There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

让我们所爱之美成为我们的所为

有千万种跪下亲吻大地的方式
