Discard yourself and thereby regain yourself. Spread the trap of humility and ensnare love.

Protect yourself......from your own thoughts.
If Light Is In Your Heart You Will Find Your Way Home.
When you seek Love with all your Heart, you shall find its echoes in the universe.
This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. There is no master, no disciple. This gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. This is a gathering of Lovers.
God (in His mercy) accepts false coin.
