And the priestess spoke again and said
Speak to us of Reason and Passion.
And he answered saying: Your soul
is often a battlefield where
proceedings and why wage war greed and passion.
If only I could be the peacemaker of ' your soul,
that converts rivalry and discord in the union and harmony.
But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers,
indeed lovers of all your elements?
reason and passion are the rudder and the sails of that
sailor who is your soul.
If the rudder and the sails are broken, you can not help but
, drifters, drifting,
or stop in the middle of the sea.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force that imprisons
and passion is a flame that, unattended,
burns to his destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the highest passion,
that it may sing, And with
why direct your passion, this
to live in daily resurrection,
and like the phoenix rising from its ashes.
I would like greed and proceedings were
for you as guests in your home.
course no longer fulfill each other,
because if you lose a greater focus on the faith of both.
When you sit on the hills to the cool shade of the poplars pale,
sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows, then you
heart murmurs:
"God rests in reason."
And when the storm rages and relentless wind shakes the forest,
and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of heaven,
you say, in the heart with reverent fear:
"In God's passion is acting."
And since you are a breath of God in the sphere and a leaf in his forest,
you too should rest in reason and move in passion.
Kahlil Gibran
