Rejoicing in nothing and knowing nothing are the true rejoicing and the true knowledge.

Rumi's Moment
Rumi turned spontaneously,
And followers formalized.
Turn thus,
Not thus.
However perfect the turning, thus done,
Rumi's moment is lost.
Beautiful,
The falling leaves.
Turn as they do, my dear
Without a thought.
Never saying,
"Thus, not thus."
Never turning at all…
But being turned.

While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low,
keeps dropping keys all night long
for the beautiful rowdy prisoners."
