Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself.

I feel like the earth, astonished at fragrance borne in the air, made pregnant with mystery from a drop of rain.

Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.

Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.

We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.

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

Fasting is the first principle of medicine; fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
