Hanging with Hafiz
Fear is your imprisonment. It shackles you in anger, greed, revenge, envy, etc. Shake free of fear. Slip from its dungeons into the light of loving-kindness. For your own sake, and for the sake of others, find more dignity in your ways. Find a friend in joy. Then you can love without fear. Who needs such fear anyway? It has no substance. Where will it be when your particles are scattered across the universe once more? You, as your true nature, will always be eternal joy. Fear is not for you. Joy is the way. Love all without fear and you will find peace of heart in all situations. Keep close to the ground. Do not rise. Do not let fear snatch you. You do not want to be its captive. Let your heart sing praises to all. Do not imprison kindness and compassion. Release yourself into joy’s care and be free.
