Love itself describes its own perfection. Be speechless and listen.
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
When someone criticizes or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
Finding faults is for those with tired minds.
Silence is an ocean. Speech is a river. When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk into the river. Listen to the ocean.
The mind says there is nothing beyond the physical world; the HEART says there is, and I've been there many times.
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it.
Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.
What you are seeking is also seeking you.
Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript of a divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. This universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you are already that.
Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.
To love is human. To feel pain is human. Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel.
Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.
Soul, if you want to learn secrets, your heart must forget about shame and dignity. You are God's lover, yet you worry what people are saying.
You don't live on the earth, you are passing through it.
Don't grieve for what doesn't come. Some things that don't happen keep disasters from happening.
All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
Whenever you are alone, remind yourself that God has sent everyone else away so that there is only you and Him.
Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who won't risk the ocean.
Now be silent. Let the One who creates the words speak. He made the door. He made the lock. He also made the key.
If Light Is In Your Heart You Will Find Your Way Home.
Let Go of Your Worries Let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. If you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. If metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? Between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.
Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
