Number 23
Whoever clings more tightly to existence, if he can let go of himself, he reaches his true self.
As long as something remains, letting go is the dervish's art; when nothing is left, anyone can be a dervish.

هر کس که تعلّقش به هستی بیش است
گر بگذرد از خویش به جای خویش است
تا هست، گذشتن هنرِ درویش است
وقتی که نباشد همه کس درویش است
