finita–la–commedia:

“You have learnt so much
And read a thousand books.
Have you ever read your Self ?
You have gone to mosque and temple.
Have you ever visited your soul ?”

— Baba Bulleh Shah (1680–1757), from “Look into Yourself”
in “Islamic Mystical Poetry. Sufi Verse from the Mystics to Rumi”, translated by Mahmood Jamal
