There is no escape — man drags man down, or man lifts man up.

Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.

But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.

The wound is the place where the light enters you.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.

Be drunk with love, for love is all that exists.

I am not this hair, I am not this skin, I am the soul that lives within.

Be with those who help your being.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset.

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.

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

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.
