You are more valuable than both heaven and earth. What else can I say? You don’t know your own worth.
The moment an inspiring thought enters your heart, appreciate it as a dear guest visiting you that day.
Be wild and crazy and drunk with Love, if you are too careful, LOVE will not find you.
If all the harps in the world were burned down, still inside the heart there will be hidden music playing.
If you put your heart against the earth with me In serving every creature, our Beloved will enter you From our sacred realm, and we will be, we will be So happy.
Be silent, Only the Hand of God Can remove The burdens of your heart.
The Heart of the matter is Soul, nothing else...
If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?
Open the window of your heart and let the Spirit speak
When LOVE for GOD has been doubled in your HEART, there is no doubt that GOD has love for YOU.
Now even the heavens are thankful that because of love I have become the giver of light.
There is an unseen sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness. We are lutes. When the sound box is filled, no music can come forth. When the brain and the belly burn from fasting, every moment a new song rises out of the fire. The mists clear, and a new vitality makes you spring up the steps before you . . .
If your guidance is your ego, don't rely on luck for help. you sleep during the day and the nights are short. By the time you wake up your life may be over.
Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.
