There is no salvation for the soul but to fall in love.

You've been walking the ocean's edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry. You must dive naked under, and deeper under, a thousand times deeper!

You do not see clearly the evil in yourself, else you would hate yourself with all your soul. Like the lion who sprang at his image in the water, you are only hurting yourself, O foolish man. When you reach the bottom of the well of your own nature, then you will know that the vileness was from yourself.

Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.

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.

These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.

Speak little, learn the words of eternity. Go beyond your tangled thoughts and find the splendor of paradise.
