I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way, eager for you Without shoes or shawl I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you.
Stay in the spiritual fire. Let it cook you.
If someone asks, But what is Love? Answer, Dissolving the will.
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
Sometimes the shadow stays next to the Light. Sometimes it disappears into the Light
It is Love that gives joy to happiness.
Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence. Stay there until you see you're looking at the light with infinite eyes.
If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
To me nothing in the world is as precious as a genuine smile, especially from a child.
Love has come to rule and transform; Stay awake, my heart, stay awake.
Wisdom is like the rain. Its source is limitless, but it comes down according to the season.
You fill yourself with the sharp pain of love, rather than its fulfillment.
Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being.
