You’ve seen my descent, now watch my rising.
The lamps are different, but the Light is the same. One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind, endlessly emanating all things.
You have been a prisoner of a little pond. I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come, merge with me, leave this world of ignorance.
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?
Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.
And don’t think the garden loses its ecstasy in winter. It’s quiet, but the roots are down there riotous.
Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance, and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet.
The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Your essence is gold hidden in dust. To reveal its splendor you need to burn in the fire of love.
Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you.
I am not this hair. I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.
The cure for pain is in the pain.
This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.
With passion pray. With passion make love. With passion eat and drink and dance and play. Why look like a dead fish in this ocean of God?
I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.
If you love someone, you are always joined with them – in joy, in absence, in solitude, in strife.
Tear off the mask. Your face is glorious.
Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret, and in exchange gain the Ocean.
