Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
When you stop admiring yourself and let the eyes of the heart open your vision to vast other worlds then all you do, will become admirable
Listen . Keep silent . You are not gods mouthpiece. Try to be an ear.
If I Separated Myself From You . . . I Would Turn Entirely Thorn!
Keep silence, be mute. If you have not yet become the tongue of GOD, be an ear!
Disharmony prevails when you confuse Lust with LOVE, while the distance between the two is endless!
If my head holds one thought wise and clear, it's You. Poor as I am, what I hold dear is You. No matter how I see myself, I'm nothing ... Anything I am entirely is You!
There is something to be said for anyone who sits alone with dignity and silently begs for God.
Water in the boat is the ruin of the boat, but water under the boat is its support.
You are the Soul and the medicine for what wounds the Soul.
Throw off your tiredness. Let me show you one tiny spot of the beauty that can't be spoken.
We bury our seeds and wait, Winter blocks the road, Flowers are taken prisoner underground, But then green justice tenders a spear
When love is not accepted move on; when love is not appreciated walk away; hopefully time will teach what real, true love is.
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart; Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
