Guest house - Rumi

? 客棧 ——魯米

This being human is a guest house.

人生好比客棧

Every morning a new arrival.

每個早晨都有新的客人

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes

喜悅、沮喪、卑劣、一瞬間的覺悟

as an unexpected visitor.

都是意外的訪客來臨

Welcome and entertain the all!

歡迎并熱情招待每一位客人！

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,

即使他們是一群悲傷之徒

who violently sweep your house

恣意破壞你的房屋，

empty of its furniture.

搬空所有家具

Still, treat each guest honorably.

仍然要待之以禮

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.

因為他們可能會帶來全新的喜悅

滌凈你心靈里

The dark thought, the shame, the malice –

灰黯念頭，羞恥或惡念

meet them at the door laughing,

在門口笑臉相迎

and invite them in.

邀請他們進來

Be grateful for whoever comes,

無論誰來，都要心存感激

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

因為每一位客人

都是由上天賜給我們的向導
