Buddha and Cat and poem by Ibn Ata'Illah 




How utterly amazing is someone who flees from something he cannot escape

By Ibn Ata' Illah
(1250 - 1309)

English version by Victor Danner

How utterly amazing is someone who flees from something he cannot escape
          to seek something that will not last!

"It is not the eyes that are blind,
          but the hearts in the breasts are blind."

Do not travel from phenomenal being to phenomenal being.
You will be like the donkey going around at the mill.
          It travels to what it set out from.

Travel from phenomenal beings
                    to the Maker of Being.

"And the final end is to your Lord."
