As long as I talked unceasingly about the Lord,The Lord stayed away, kept at a distance.But when I silenced my mouth, sat very stillAnd fixed my mind at the doorway of the Lord,I was linked to the music of the Word,And all my talking came to an end.
I went in search of a bad person; I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.
The essence of life is in remembering God.
My heart is so intoxicated with love that I have no wish to speak.
When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?
As the bee collecteth honey with great zest, so the fool collecteth wealth.
