I will conquer the whole world and fill it with myself

Flattery's fire is hidden. Its sweet taste is apparent, but the smoke is bound to come out at last.

Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being.

For without you, I swear, the town Has become like a prison to me. Distraction and the mountain And the desert, all I desire.

Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.

I want a heart which is split, part by part, because of the pain of separation from God, so that I might explain my longing and complaint to it.

The one who has a good friend doesn't need any mirror.
