Until the juice ferments a while in the cask, it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright, you must do a little work.

Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.

If we come to sleep we are His drowsy ones And if we come to wake we are in His hands If we come to weeping we are His cloud full of raindrops And if we come to laughing we are His lightning in that moment If we come to anger and battle it is the reflection of His wrath And if we come to peace and pardon it is the reflection of His love Who are we in this complicated world?

You have been a prisoner of a little pond I am the ocean and its turbulent flood Come merge with me leave this world of ignorance

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.

A wealth you cannot imagine flows through you. Do not consider what strangers say. Be secluded in your secret heart-house, that bowl of silence.

I am smiling at myself today There's no wish left in this heart Or perhaps there is no heart left Free from all desire I sit quietly like Earth My silent cry echoes like thunder Throughout the universe I am not worried about it I know it will be heard by no one Except me.
