There are many languages in the world; in meaning all are the same. If you break the cups, water will be unified and will flow together

You are the honoured guest, Do not weep like a beggar For pieces of the world.
Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
I have put duality away. I have seen the two worlds are one.
This world is in deep trouble, from top to bottom. But it can be swiftly healed by the balm of love.
Keep silent, because the world of silence is a vast fullness
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
When you stop admiring yourself and let the eyes of the heart open your vision to vast other worlds then all you do, will become admirable
Everything is emptiness. Everything else, accidental. Emptiness brings peace to your loving. Everything else, disease. In this world of trickery, emptiness is what your soul wants.
The mind says there is nothing beyond the physical world; the HEART says there is, and I've been there many times.
Pure souls, didn’t I tell you not to be seduced by this colorful world for I am the Ultimate Painter.
