Humble living does not diminish. It fills. Going back to a simpler self gives wisdom.

When soul rises Into lips You feel the kiss You have wanted

When someone is counting out gold for you, don't look at your hands, or the gold. Look at the giver.

When you are with everyone but me, you're with no one. When you are with no one but me, you're with everyone. Instead of being so bound up with everyone, be everyone. When you become that many, you're nothing. Empty.

Purify your eyes, and see the pure world. Your life will fill with radiant forms.

Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears; if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.

Listen, open a window to God and begin to delight yourself by gazing upon Him through the opening.
