The cure for pain is in the pain. Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both, you don't belong with us.
Woman is the light of God.
I lost my hat while gazing at the moon, and then I lost my mind.
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
Now is the time to unite the Soul and the world.
Whenever sorrow comes, be kind to it. For God has placed a pearl in sorrow’s hand.
Respond to every call that excites your spirit.
I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.
Go back, go back to sleep. Yes, you are allowed. You who have no Love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. The power of Love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. I have been burnt by the fire of Love. You who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. The path of Love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. Your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. I have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. You who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.
Life s picture is constantly undergoing change. The spirit beholds a new world every moment.
This whole universe is but a drop of His Beauty!
A true Lover is proved such by his pain of Heart! No sickness is there like sickness of Heart!!!
Water the fruit trees and don’t water the thorns.
When your heart becomes the grave of your secrets, that desire of yours will be gained more quickly. The prophet said that anyone who keeps secret his inmost thought will soon attain the object of his desire. When seeds are buried in the earth, their inward secrets become the flourishing garden.
