Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside.

My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.

The ground submits to the sky and suffers whatever comes. Tell me, is the Earth worse for giving in like that?

Tis easy to break an idol, very easy: to regard the self as easy to subdue is folly, folly.

A wealth you cannot imagine flows through you. Do not consider what strangers say. Be secluded in your secret heart-house, that bowl of silence.

Know that the outward form passes away, but the world of reality remains forever. How long will you play at loving the shape of the jug? Leave the jug; go, seek the water!
