When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.

Love is an open secret, the most obvious thing in the world and the most hidden, with no why to how it keeps its mystery.

How could you reach the pearl by only looking at the sea? If you seek the pearl, be a diver: the diver needs several qualities: he must trust his rope and his life to the Friend's hand, he must stop breathing, and he must jump.

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

Love is the reality, and poetry is the drum.
