"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth
and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and
for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.
Think of it ... always."

ACT GREAT
What is the key
ACT GREAT
What is the key
To untie the knot of your mind’s suffering?
What
What
Is the esoteric secret
To slay the crazed one whom each of us
Did wed
And who can ruin
And who can ruin
Our heart’s and eye’s exquisite tender
Landscape?
Hafiz has found
Hafiz has found
Two emerald words that
Restored
Me
That I now cling to as I would sacred
That I now cling to as I would sacred
Tresses of my Beloved’s
Hair:
Act great.
Act great.
My dear, always act great.
What is the key
What is the key
To untie the knot of the mind’s suffering?
Benevolent thought, sound
Benevolent thought, sound
And movement.
