108 V DISCOURSES OF RUMIthought thousands of people and worlds aretaken prisoner. Consider then, those whosethoughts are without limitations—what grandeurand splendor they possess, how easily they overwhelmthe enemy, and what worlds they subdue!When I see the limitless wisdom that exists,while armies unending stretch through wasteupon waste, all prisoners of one person, and thatperson the prisoner of a contemptible littlethought—where do they all stand compared tothoughts of powerful depths, infinite light, holy,and sublime?Therefore thoughts have real effects. In thisphysical world all living things merely follow andact as instruments of thought. Without thoughtthey are inanimate and solid. In the same way,those who understand only the outer form arealso solid. They cannot penetrate the meaning.They are children, spiritually, and immature evenif they are Sufi sheikhs, a hundred years old.“We have returned from the lesser holy warTo fight the Greater Holy War.”We all see the battle with outward things andpeople, and we draw up our forces against these
FIHI MA FIHI V 109formal adversaries. We must also draw up ourforces against the armies of thoughts, so thatdesirable thoughts will defeat destructivethoughts and drive them out of the kingdom ofour bodies. This then is indeed the greater struggleand the greater war.Thoughts have their effect. They work beyondthe influence of the body like the Laws of Naturewithout any instrument keep the heavens turning.Therefore philosophers say that thoughts don’trequire a body. After all, the body is but an accident.Why should anyone dwell on an accident?Reality is like a musk-pod, and this materialworld and its delights are merely the scent of thatmusk. This scent is but transient, a mere accident.The individual who seeks the musk itself, not contentwith only the scent, that person is wise. Butwhoever is satisfied to possess the scent is a fool.They have chased after a thing their hand cannotgrasp, for the scent is merely an attribute of themusk. So long as the musk is present in thisworld, its scent comes to the nostrils. However,when it leaves this world and crosses that invisibleveil, all those who lived by its scent die. The
