Be relentless in your looking, because you are the one you seek.
Yesterday is gone and took away its tale. Today we must live a fresh story again.
Go to the well of deep Love inside each of Us.
What you're seeking is seeking you.
Oh my friend, all that you see of me is a shell, the rest belongs to love.
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside.

O, happy the soul that saw its own faults.
Clean out your ears, don't listen for what you already know.
No better love than love with no object
Sometimes we plan a trip to one place, but something takes us to another
Because the Beloved wants to know, unseen things become manifest. Hiding is the hidden purpose of creation.
A Breath of love can take you all the way to infinity
If you desire healing, let yourself fall ill let yourself fall ill.
