Inside of us, there’s a continual autumn. Our leaves fall and are blown out over the water.
And if you are a rose, I am rose-shadow.
I turn all thorn then, but you come back again and make my thorniness fragrant and pink and petaled.
Try another way of looking. Try you looking and the whole universe seeing.
There is none dwelling in the house but God. When a man is awakened he melts and perishes.
Quit acting like a wolf, and feel the shepherd’s love filling you.
Come on sweetheart let’s adore one another before there is no more of you and me.
I used to read the myths of love Now I have become the mythical lover.
I am so close, I may look distant.
From the distance, you only see my light; come closer and you will know that I am you.
To find the Beloved, you must become the Beloved.
We are even higher than the heavens, we are greater than angels; Why should we not transcend both? Our lodging-place is Majesty.
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Welcome and entertain them all!
I saw many humans on whom there were no clothes. I saw many clothes in which there were no humans.
Behind every atom of this world hides an infinite Universe.
There’s courage involved if you want to become Truth.
Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure. The only rule is, suffer the pain. Your desires must be disciplined And what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that’s what you are, don’t seek out there; seek inside.
You are the root of heaven, the morning star, the bright moon, the house of endless Love.
My soul is my guide, for my soul is of that abode. I will not speak of the earthly. I am of the unknown.
