A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. I've disappeared from myself and my attributes, I am present only for you. I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar. I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.

O Beloved, where is the Beloved?

There is a fountain inside you. Don't walk around with an empty bucket.

Shine like the whole universe is yours.

For the thirst to possess your love, Is worth my blood a hundred times.

When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you're not here, I can't go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.

To change, you must face the dragon of your appetites with another dragon: the life-energy of the soul.
