When your heart becomes the grave of your secrets, that desire of yours will be gained more quickly. The prophet said that anyone who keeps secret his inmost thought will soon attain the object of his desire. When seeds are buried in the earth, their inward secrets become the flourishing garden.

Birds make great sky-circles of their freedom. How do they learn it? They fall and falling, they're given wings.

The intellectual quest, though fine as pearl or coral, is not the spiritual search. That spiritual search is on another level. Spiritual wine is a different substance.

Even though you tie a hundred knots, the string remains one.

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it.

Once you conquer your selfish self, all your darkness will change to light.

My head is bursting with the joy of the unknown. My heart is expanding a thousand fold.
