If destiny comes to help you, love will come to meet you. A life without love isn’t a life.

When you feel a peaceful joy, that’s when you are near truth.

Joy lives concealed in grief.

Don’t make yourself miserable with what is to come or not to come.

I learned that every mortal will taste death. But only some will taste life.

With life as short as a half-taken breath, don’t plant anything but love.

Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you.

Be kind and honest, and harmful poisons will turn sweet inside you. If you want money more than anything, you’ll be bought and sold your whole life.

Listen to the unstruck sounds, and what sifts through that music.

The very center of your heart is where life begins. The most beautiful place on earth.

You have forgotten the One who doesn’t care about ownership, who doesn’t try to turn a profit from every human exchange.

The universe and the light of the stars come through me.

The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.

Love is the water of life, jump into this water.

Shine like the whole universe is yours.

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.

On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty. Today is such a day.

The very center of your heart is where life begins. The most beautiful place on earth.

The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.

Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep.

What hurts the soul? To live without tasting the water of its own essence.

We can’t help being thirsty, moving toward the voice of water.

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.

When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.

There is a moon inside every human being. Learn to be companions with it.

Who could be so lucky? Who comes to a lake for water and sees the reflection of moon.

Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others’ faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls are dancing with you, without feet, they dance. Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?

You have no need to travel anywhere – journey within yourself. Enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.

If you wish to shine like day, burn up the night of self-existence. Dissolve in the Being who is everything.

Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.

Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.

Wherever water flows, life flourishes: wherever tears fall, divine mercy is shown.

How do I know who I am or where I am? How could a single wave locate itself in an ocean.

My heart, sit only with those who know and understand you.

There is nothing I want but your presence. In friendship, time dissolves.

Let’s rise above this animalistic behavior and be kind to one another.

Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.

Study me as much as you like, you will never know me. For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be.

Stay with friends who support you in these. Talk with them about sacred texts, and how you are doing, and how they are doing, and keep your practices together.

Always search for your innermost nature in those you are with, as rose oil imbibes from roses.

My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.

A warm, rainy day-this is how it feels when friends get together. Friend refreshes friend then, as flowers do each others, in a spring rain.

Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.

Friendship of the wise is good; a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.

If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless.

Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?

Friend, our closeness is this: anywhere you put your foot, feel me in the firmness under you.

Be with those who help your being.
