Poem: The Guest House
Read by Waleed Khan

The Guest House is one of the best poems from the collection of Rumi's poetry. It is a powerful motivational poem about life. In this inspirational life poem, the reader is inspired to accept the ups and downs of life in a welcoming manner, because they cannot be avoided. We must accept the inevitable suffering with a laughing heart and face because it is a necessary part of life. Suffering is the ultimate beautifier of life. This aspect of Rumi's poem is in some way related to the Buddhist philosophy of life.

Full poem:
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
Who violently sweep your house
Empty of its furniture,
Still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
For some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
Meet them at the door laughing,
And invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
Because each has been sent,
As a guide from beyond.
