Be quiet in your mind, quiet in your senses, and also quiet in your body. Then, when all these are quiet, don't do anything. In that state truth will reveal itself to you.

The river that flows in you also flows in me.

I talk to my inner lover, and I say, why such rush? We sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves birds and animals and the ants- perhaps the same one who gave a radiance to you in your mother's womb. Is it logical you would be walking around entirely orphaned now? The truth is you turned away yourself, and decided to go into the dark alone. Now you are tangled up in others, and have forgotten what you once knew, and that's why everything you do has some weird sense of failure in it.

A learned man's knowledge will be of no avail to him if he doesn't have control over his tongue

If it were possible to meet the Beloved while laughing and in a state of comfort, why should one suffer the anguish of separation?

The external forces conceal from the eyes the deep meaning of existence; True faith resides in the heart.

The essence of life is in remembering God.
