I am not a Hindu, Nor a Muslim, I am this body, a play Of five elements a drama Of the spirit dancing With joy and sorrow.

When the bride is one with her lover, who cares about the wedding party?

If you don’t break your ropes while you’re alive, do you think ghosts will do it after?

Do not praise yourself not slander others: There are still many days to go and any thing could happen.

If you want the truth, I’ll tell you the truth. Listen to the secret sound, the real sound, which is inside you.

Wear a crown of flowers on your head, let its roots reach your heart.

Plunge into the truth, find out who the Teacher is, Believe in the Great Sound!

Listen to me, my Friend! My beloved Lord is within.

All darkness vanished, when I saw the Lamp within my heart.

Do not keep the slanderer away, treat him with affection and honor: Body and soul, he scours all clean, babbling about this and that.
