Open your arms if you want the Beloved’s embrace.
Happy is the moment we sit together, with two forms, with two faces, yet one soul. You and I.
In their seeking, wisdom and madness are one and the same. On the path of love, friend and stranger are one and the same.
You are the mirror of divine beauty.
We are born of love. Love is our mother.
At the end of my life, with just one breath left, if you come, I’ll sit up and sing.
You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!
A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.
You may learn to imitate a birdcall, but do you experience what the nightingale feels for the rose?
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
Bring the pure wine of love and freedom. But sir, a tornado is coming. More wine, we’ll teach this storm A thing or two about whirling.
Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
Be drunk with Love, for Love is all that exists. Where is intimacy found if not in the give and take of Love.
Whatever you know, or don’t – only Love is real.
Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.
I am so mad with love that mad men say to me – be still!
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
Love, and do what you will. If you keep silence, do it out of love. If you cry out, do it out of love. If you refrain from punishing, do it out of love.
