That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.
When you feel a peaceful joy, that's when you are near truth.
Keep on knocking 'til the joy inside opens a window look to see who's there
I was a tiny bug. Now a mountain. I was left behind. Now honored at the head. You healed my wounded hunger and anger, and made me a poet who sings about joy.
It is Love that gives joy to happiness.
That hurt we embrace becomes joy. Call it to your arms where it can change.
Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it.
Patience is the key to joy.
Do not grieve over any joy that has gone forever, for it will return to you in another form, know that for sure.
Be full of sorrow, that you may become hill of joy; weep, that you may break into laughter.
The unseen presence keeps saying to us, ‘You are Joy!’
Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment, a new beauty.
Every object and being in the universe is a jar overflowing with wisdom and beauty,a drop of the Tigris that cannot be contained by any skin. Every jarful spills and makes the earth more shining, as though covered in satin... Make peace with the universe. Take joy in it. It will turn to gold. Resurrection will be now. Every moment, a new beauty.
Joy lives concealed in grief.
