Rumi and the conch shell

Perhaps your ego has grown so large that you can't get out of the conch shell you are stuck in. By Rumi WITHOUT A LOT OF HOOPLA That conch shell you crawled into on land, then grew so large in there, you got stuck— I am going to help get you out. It is just a matter now of whether I should use my hammer, or chant some magic words that could knock twenty pounds off your ego and/or waistline. Then you could just slip back into God without a lot of hoopla and sweat on both our parts. Sorry though. I don’t think there is any special tonic, or voodoo, to remedy a plight quite like yours. So brace yourself, sweetheart. Here I come!
