Every soul becomes gold when touched by the Beloved.
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.

Thankfulness brings you to the place where the Beloved lives.
What? Are you still pretending you are separate from the Beloved?
The only way to measure a lover is by the grandeur of the beloved.

In truth, everything and everyone is a shadow of the Beloved.
Oh lovers, where are you going? Who are you looking for? Your beloved is right here.
Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.
Let the Beloved be a hat pulled down firmly on my head.
O Beloved, where is the Beloved?
My beloved grows right out of my own heart. How much more union can there be....
I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.
