Very high, very grand, and very wise is the ocean of God, the Water of Life. You went after the form and were lead astray. How can you see it? You abandoned the truth. Sometimes it is named "tree," sometimes "sun," sometimes "ocean," sometimes "cloud," one thing from which scores of discoveries arise, its slightest definition an everlasting life.

What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.

The Prophets accept all agony and trust it For the water has never feared the fire.

A heart filled with love is like a phoenix that no cage can imprison.

Why should I be weary when every cell of my body is bursting with life?

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.

My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.
