    The Way today tells me, You cannot become a dervish.
    So what can I tell you? You cannot become a dervish.
    A dervish needs a wounded heart and eyes full of tears.
    He needs to be as easy as a sheep.
    You cannot be a dervish.
    He must be without hand, when someone hits him.
    He must be toungless when cursed.
    A dervish needs to be without any desire.
    You cannot be a dervish.
    You make a lot of sounds with your tounge, meaningfull things.
    You get angry about this and that,
    You cannot be a dervish.
    If it were all right to be angry on this path.
    Muhammed himself would have gotten angry.
    Because of your anger, you cannot be a dervish.
    Unless you find a real path, unless you find a guide,
    unless Truth grants you your portion,
    You cannot be a dervish.
    Therefore, dervish Yunus, come,
    dive into the ocean now and then.
    Unless you dive in the ocean
    you cannot be a dervish.
