You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, o foolish man. when you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.

You Do Not See Clearly The Evil

Rumi
You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, o foolish man. when you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.

More From Rumi

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
Hate Lying Cutting
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
I was the lion who forced you to join with aravis. i was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. i was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. i was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach king lune in time. and i was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.
