鲁米
人就像一所客栈,
每个早晨都有新的客旅光临。
“喜悦”、“沮丧”、“刻薄”
这些不速之客,
随时都有可能会登门。
欢迎并以礼相待他们!
即使他们令人厌烦,
即使他们
肆意扫荡你的客栈,
搬光你的家具,
你依然要宾客相待他们。
因为他们每一个
都有可能为你吐故纳新,
带进新的喜悦。
即便来者不善,
“恶毒”、“羞惭”或是“怨怼”,
你都当站在门口,笑脸相迎,
邀请他们进来。
来者是客,
要心存感念,
因为他们每一个,
都是另一世界
派来指引你的向导。
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
