[Sunlight] What is below comes from above

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you have seen your own cunning,
follow it back to its origin.
What is below comes from above.
Come on, turn your eyes to the heights.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hileh-ye khvod-râ cho didi bâz raw
kaz kojâ âmad su-ye âghâz raw
Harcheh dar pastist âmad az `alâ
chashm-râ su-ye bolandi neh helâ


-- Mathnawi II: 1973-1974
