Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
sleep on.
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep.
... Rumi

.... Now im confused. So should I or should I not wrap my beautiful robe of words around me and sleep? I know I'll never achieve anything if I sleep. But sleeping in my beautiful robe of words sounds lovely too.
