Learn to recognize the false dawn from the true; distinguish the color of the wine from the color of the cup. Then it may be that patience and time may produce, out of the spectrum-viewing sight, true vision, and you will behold colors other than these mortal hues, you will see pearls instead of stones. Pearls, did I say? Nay more, you will become a sea, you will become a sun traveling the sky.

Everything has to do with loving and not loving.

Be silent. That heart speaks without tongue or lips.

And watch two men washing clothes, one makes dry clothes wet. The other makes wet clothes dry. they seem to be thwarting each other, but their work is a perfect harmony. Every holy person seems to have a different doctrine and practice, but there's really only one work.

But meditate now on steadfastness and clarity, and let those be the wings that lift and soar through the celestial spheres.

Raise your words, not your voice.

If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you've been torturing your soul.
