Passion is present when a man can distinguish between the wine and the container. Two men see a loaf of bread. One hasn't eaten anything for ten days. The other has eaten five times a day, every day. He sees the shape of the loaf. The other man with his urgent need sees inside into the taste, and into the nourishment the bread could give. Be that hungry, to see within all beings the Friend.

Put your thoughts to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking.

The soul has been given its own ears to hear things mind does not understand.

World power means nothing. Only the unsayable, jeweled inner life matters.

Be full of sorrow, that you may become hill of joy; weep, that you may break into laughter.

You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence or in absence.

Like a shadow, I am and I am not.
