Wicked Man.
Song lyrics, There Will Be a Light (2004)
“The roots of education … are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.”
The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers
“But hushed be every thought that springs
From out the bitterness of things.”
Elegiac Stanzas. Addressed to Sir G.H.B., st. 7 (1824).
“Why use bitter soup for healing
when sweet water is everywhere?”
Source: The Essential Rumi (1995), Ch. 19 : Jesus Poems, p. 204
Context: Christ is the population of the world,
and every object as well. There is no room
for hypocrisy. Why use bitter soup for healing
when sweet water is everywhere?
