A pure heart, open to the Light, will be filled with the elixir of Truth.

Be relentless in your looking, because you are the one you seek.

Sit with lovers and choose their state. Do not stay long with those who are not living in the heart.

Pour out wine till I become a wanderer from myself; for in selfhood and existence I have felt only fatigue.

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.

Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.

Shams, my body is a candle touched with fire.
