Fall in love in such a way that it frees you from any connecting.
In the blackest of your moments, wait with no fear.
We are the mirror - As well as the face in it.
Love is such a vast sea, it has neither edges nor ends nor corners.
Everything has to do with loving and not loving.
We came whirling out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust... The stars made a circle, and in the middle, we dance.
Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe
Inside a Lover's Heart,there's another world,and yet another.
Your radiance shines in every atom of creation yet our petty desires keep it hidden.
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels; Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
From the Distance You only See My Light; Come closer and You will Know that I Am You.
I am so close, I may look distant.
