Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
Update: 2025-06-16
Description
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.
The phrase "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing" is a famous line from a poem by the 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi. It suggests a space beyond moral judgments and dualistic thinking, where a deeper connection with oneself and others can be found. Specifically, the full line, "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there," implies a place of unity and understanding that transcends conventional notions of good and bad.
