A dervish must be without a heart, tongueless to the one who curses; handless to the one who strikes; there is no need to answer people in kind.
Derviş gönülsüz gerekdür sögene dilsüz gerekdür / Dögene elsüz gerekdür halka berâber gerekmez
Yunus Emre, Dîvân, poem 111, couplet 2 (Mustafa Tatçı, Yûnus Emre Dîvânı, Istanbul 2008).
In the well-known saying it ends
with "you cannot be a dervish."
In Yunus's text it does not.
Someone curses you; make no sound.
Someone strikes you; do not raise your hand.
There is no need to answer people in kind.
The dervish is the one who has stopped answering back.
Without a heart: one who does not press the claims of his heart.
