My Soul gave me good counsel, teaching me that the lamp which I carry does not belong to me, and the song that I sing was not generated from within me.

They say if one understands himself, he understands all people. But I say to you, when one loves people, he learns something about himself.

I have met the soul walking upon my path.

All that you see was and is for your sake. The numerous books, uncanny markings, and beautiful thoughts are the ghosts of souls who preceded you. The speech they weave is a link between you and your human siblings. The consequences that cause sorrow and rapture are the seeds that the past has sown in the field of the soul, and by which the future shall profit.

All this I say that you may understand not only in the mind but rather in the spirit. The mind weighs and measures but it is the spirit that reaches the heart of life and embraces the secret; and the seed of the spirit is deathless.

I have learned that the place where I subsist is all places, and the space I occupy is all intervals.

We were a silent, hidden thought in the folds of oblivion, and we have become a voice that causes the heavens to tremble.
