I understand this line
the way I understand these lines from Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah":
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
~ Rumi
Rumi's is something else, isn't it?
Is it alright if I share?
Fihi Ma Fihi 26
The human condition is like this: an angel's wing was brought and tied to a donkey's tail so that the donkey perchance might take on the qualities of the angel, whose radiance falls on it.
