There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.

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

Put your thoughts to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking.

It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith is never lost.

On what is fear: Non-acceptance of uncertainty. If we accept that uncertainty, it becomes an adventure!

When you go through a hard period, when everything seems to oppose you, when you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, never give up! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!

Those who don’t feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don’t drink dawn like a cup ofThose who don’t feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don’t drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don’t want to change, let them sleep. springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don’t want to change, let them sleep.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’d ever imagined.

Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

If something makes you happy in this world, you should think of what will happen to you if that thing were taken away.

If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.

Move, but don’t move the way fear makes you move.

The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind.

Looking up gives light, although at first it makes you dizzy.

I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.

Silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.

Each moment contains a hundred messages from God.

Touched. How did you get here? Close your eyes… and surrender!

Would you become a pilgrim on the road of love? The first condition is that you make yourself humble as dust and ashes.

Love is the water of life. Everything other than love for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit, though it be sugar-eating. What is agony of the spirit? To advance toward death without seizing hold of the water of life.

If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.

To become spiritual, you must die to self, and come alive in the Lord. Only then will the mysteries of God fall from your lips. To die to self through self-discipline causes suffering but brings you everlasting life.

There is a loneliness more precious than life. There is a freedommore precious than the world. Infinitely more precious than life and the world is that moment when one is alone with God.

Knock, and He’ll open the door. Vanish, and He’ll make you shine like the sun. Fall, and He’ll raise you to the heavens. Become nothing, and He’ll turn you into everything.

Sit quietly and listen for a voice that will say, “Be more silent.” As that happens, your soul starts to revive.

Till man destroys “self” he is no true friend of God. 

Now be silent. Let the One who creates the words speak. He made the door. He made the lock. He also made the key.

Ways of worshipping are not to be ranked as better or worse than one another… It’s all praise, and it’s all right.

We are all the same… all the same… longing to find our way back… back to the One… back to the only One!

Why, when God’s world is so big, did you fall asleep in a prison, of all places?

God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one

Stay in the spiritual fire. Let it cook you.

All religions. All this singing. One song. Peace be with you.

I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.

Let silence take you to the core of life.

Life is balance of holding on and letting go.

Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.

Laugh as much as you breathe. Love as long as you live.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.

Let yourself become living poetry.

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life. There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine. O traveller, if you are in search of that, don’t look outside, look inside yourself and seek that.

Travel brings power and love back into your life. 

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

Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be solved.

There is a life in you, search that life, search the secret jewel in the mountain of your body.

Oh! Joy for he who has escaped from this world of perfumes and color! For beyond these colors and these perfumes, these are other colors in the heart and the soul.

Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.

The illuminated life can happen now, in the moments left. Die to your ego, and become a true human being.

Travelers, it is late. Life’s sun is going to set. During these brief days that you have strength, be quick and spare no effort of your wings.
