I AM evil,but good for you

Lead me from dreaming to waking.
Lead me from opacity to clarity.
Lead me from the complicated to the simple.
Lead me from the obscure to the obvious.
Lead me from intention to attention.
Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am.
Lead me from confrontation to wide openness.
Lead me to the place I never left,
Where there is peace, and peace
- The Upanishads

*note* a poem from Mirza Khan Ansari,, MIRZA KHAN ANSARI, was a descendant, probably a grandson, of Pir Roshan, the founder of the Roshanian sect, which made a great noise among the Afghans, about the year 1542-3 of our Era. He appears to have commenced writing poetry in the year A. H. 1040; and these effusious were afterwards brought together in the form of a Diwan or Collection of Odes, bearing his name,,
This poem was recorded by Idries Shah,in his book,,Oriental Magic,, marvelous sufi poem,anyway.

I AM
(SUFI POEM OF MIRZA KHAN ANSARI)
Oriental Magic
Idries Shah

HOW SHALL I DEFINE WHAT THING I AM?
WHOLLY EXISTENT AND YET NON-EXISTENT AM I.

WHATEVER BECOMETH NOUGHT OUT OF ENTITY,
THE SIGNIFICATION OF THAT NOTHINGNESS AM I.

SOMETIMES A MOTE ON THE DISC OF THE SUN;
AT OTHERS, A RIPPLE ON THE WATER'S SURFACE.

NOW IF FLY ABOUT IN THE WIND OF ASSOCIATION;
NOW I AM A BIRD OF THE INCORPOREAL WORLD.

BY THE NAME OF ICE I ALSO STYLE MYSELF:
CONGEALED IN THE WINTER SEASON AM I.

I HAVE ENVELOPED MYSELF IN THE FOUR ELEMENTS;
I AM THE CLOUD ON THE FACE OF THE SKY.

FROM UNITY I HAVE COME INTO INFINITY:
INDEED, NOTHING EXISTETH THAT I AM NOT.

MY VITALITY IS FROM LIFE'S SOURCE ITSELF;
AND I AM THE SPEECH, EVERY MOUTH WITHIN.

I AM THE HEARING-SENSE WITH EVERY EAR;
AND ALSO THE SIGHT OF EVERY EYE AM I.

I AM THE POTENTIALITY OF EVERYTHING:
I AM THE PERCEPTION EVERY ONE WITHIN.

MY WILL AND INCLINATION ARE WITH ALL;
WITH MINE OWN ACTS, ALSO, SATISFIED AM I.

UNTO THE SINFUL AND VICIOUS, I AM EVIL;
BUT UNTO THE GOOD, BENEFICENT AM I.
