Can the water of a polluted stream
Wash away the dirt?
Can human knowledge sweep away
The ignorance of the sensual self?
How does a sword fashion its own hilt?
Go, entrust your wound to a surgeon,
For flies will gather around the wound
Until it can’t be seen.
These are your selfish thoughts
And all you dream of owning.
The wound is your own dark hole.
Mathnawi I, 3221–3224
(translated by Kabir Helminski and Camille Helminski)
