The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires.

When lovers of life get ready to dance, the earth shakes and the sky trembles.

The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.

You wander from room to room Hunting for the diamond necklace That is already around your neck!

There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.

We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee; we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.

Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words; for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.
