“You ache with loneliness one night so much you weep and I say ‘here is a rope tie it around me Hafiz will be your companion for life’.”

Dear Ones, Beware of the tiny gods frightened men Create To bring anesthetic relief to their sad days.

Plant a Seed so your Heart will Grow.

We don’t need sugar, flour or rice or anything else. We just want to see our dear ones.

Run my dear, From anything, That may not strengthen, Your precious budding wings.

You yourself are your own obstacle, rise above yourself.

Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends.

What do sad people have in common? It seems they have all built a shrine to the past and often go there and do a strange wail and worship. What is the beginning of Happiness? It is to stop being so religious like that.

I know you have a hundred complex cases against God in court, but never mind, let’s just get out of this mess.

I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through. Listen to this music.

Think of suffering as being washed.

The sun will stand as your best man And whistle When you have found the courage To marry forgiveness When you have found the courage to marry Love.

I am happy even before I have a reason.

Love is simply creation’s greatest joy.

Sing because this is a food our starving world needs. Laugh because that is the purest sound.

The great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.

All your wounds from craving love Exist because of heroic deeds.
