“To love the world is to be afflicted.”

Whatever separates you from the Truth, throw it away, it will vanish anyhow.

Too many words are lit for a beast of burden.

If I told you about a land of love…would you swallow it as a remedy?

I am the drop that contains the ocean.

I tried to make sense of the Four Books, until love arrived, and it all became a single syllable.

The earth shall be left to no one.

My heart is the throne of the Beloved, the Beloved the heart’s destiny: Whoever breaks another’s heart will find no homecoming in this world or any other.

Thought is an errand boy, fear a mine of worries.

Come let us be friends for once. Let us make life easy on us. Let us be loved ones and lovers. The earth shall be left to no one.

A heart makes a good home for the friend.

The real affliction of old age is remorse.

Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch.

Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone.
