Bathe in the splendor of your own Light.
This dance is the joy of existence.
We all face death in the end. But on the way, be careful never to hurt a human heart!
There is a King Who is aware of every Mask you put on
We are the fingertips of blind illusion, You are the absolute Cause of causes.
When lovers of life get ready to dance, the earth shakes and the sky trembles.
No prayer is complete without presence.
Whether one moves slowly or with speed, the one who is a seeker will be a finder.
The wailing of broken hearts is the doorway to God.
Listen to the sound of waves within you.
Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you. Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion. Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
The soul lives there in the silent breath.
Every moment, a voice, out of this world, calls on our soul, to wake up and rise.
