The lover never despairs. For a committed heart everything is possible.
Only love itself can explain love and lovers.
Love cannot be described. It must be tasted.
Beauty is the garden scent of roses, murmuring water flowing gently...Can words describe the indescribable?
Concentrate on the Essence, concentrate on the Light.
Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths.
Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.
Prayer clears the mist and brings back peace to the Soul . . .
Looking at my life I see that only Love Has been my soul’s companion From deep inside My soul cries out: Do not wait, surrender For the sake of Love.
The Real Beloved is that one who is Unique, who is your Beginning and your End.
Be silent. That heart speaks without tongue or lips.
Love is the way messengers from the mystery tell us things
You are the soul of the soul of the universe, and your name is Love.
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
