Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease; your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.

Only the soul knows what love is.

Giving thanks for abundance is sweeter than the abundance itself.

Inside of us, there's a continual autumn. Our leaves fall and are blown out over the water.

Stay in the spiritual fire. Let it cook you.

A lover knows only humility, he has no choice. He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice. He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret, he has no choice. In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment, he has no choice.

Whoever acts with respect will get respect.
