Lalla was a l4th century mystic/poet who lived in India. At age 25, she left her
home and went about the countryside reciting her poems.
To hear these said aloud, go to the following on youtube:

If you're wise, be foolish.
If you can see, squint.
Though you can hear, sit
dumb as an old rock.
Whatever anyone says,
listen and agree.
This is a friendly practice,
and it leads to some truth.
- Lalla, from Naked Song - Versions by Coleman Barks
