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.
Purify yourself from the attributes of self, so that you may see your own pure, untarnished essence.
Doing as others told me, I was Blind. Coming when others called me, I was Lost. Then I left everyone, myself as well. Then I found Everyone, Myself as well.
Your longing for ME is my message to you, All your attempts to reach ME, Are in reality MY attempts to reach you.
Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.
Love is a river. Drink from it.
