When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.

Love opens my chest, and thought returns to its confines.

Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.

There is no salvation for the soul but to fall in Love. Only lovers can escape out of these two worlds. This was ordained in creation. Only from the heart can you reach the sky: The Rose of Glory can grow only from the heart.

Sit quietly and listen for a voice that will say, "Be more silent." As that happens, your soul starts to revive.

Be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.

Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears; if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
