Rumi on Thoughts

Everyone is overridden by thoughts; 
that's why they have so much heartache and sorrow. 
At times I give myself up to thought purposefully; 
but when I choose, I spring up from those under its sway. 
I am like a high-flying bird, and thought is a gnat: 
how should a gnat overpower me? 
Rumi
