If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.

I hear a drum in my soul's ear coming from the depth of the stars.

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

We all face death in the end. But on the way, be careful never to hurt a human heart!

O Seeker, pain and suffering make one aware of God.

I can heal a broken heart with a smile.

If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.
