Be certain that in the religion of Love there are no believers and unbelievers. LOVE embraces all.
people want you to be happy, don't keep serving them your pain
The cure for pain is in the pain.
if i can only recount the story of my life right out of my body flames will grow
God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one
When one sense perceives the hidden, the invisible world becomes apparent to the whole.
Travelers, it is late. Life's sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings
Oh my friend, all that you see of me is a shell, the rest belongs to love.
I would love to kiss you. The price of kissing is your life.
Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
In your light I learn how to love.
Love rests on no foundation. It is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end.
Although the road is never ending take a step and keep walking, do not look fearfully into the distance... On this path let the heart be your guide for the body is hesitant and full of fear.
You think you are alive because you breathe air? Shame on you, that you are alive in such a limited way. Don't be without Love, so you won't feel dead. Die in Love and stay alive forever.
