If you knew the secret of life, you too would choose no other companion but love.
Love’s secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers, “Here I am!”
Every rose that is sweet-scented within, That rose is telling of the secrets of the Universal.
The heart is the secret inside the secret.
This Love has whispered secrets in your ear that don't make sense to anybody else. You know who You are. You are the shining star.
Love is an endless ocean, with no beginning or end. Imagine, a suspended ocean, riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.
While the mind sees only boundaries, Love knows the secret way there.
There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.
Let Silence speak to you about the secrets of the universe.
The soul which cannot endure fire and smoke won't find the Secret.
You believe God is not there, but He is, Hidden in the secret of the divine mystery
I am merely a guest, born in this world to know the secrets that lie beyond it.
