> God has allowed some magical reversal to occur,
so that you see the scorpion pit
as an object of desire,
and all the beautiful expanse around it
as dangerous and swarming with snakes.

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

> Your body is woven
from the light of heaven.
Are you aware
that its purity and swiftness
is the envy of angels
and its courage
keeps even devils away.

> When you are everywhere, you are nowhere
When you are somewhere, you are everywhere.

> Truth lifts the heart, like water refreshes thirst.

> من درد ترا ز دست آسان ندهم
دل بر نکنم ز دوست تا جان ندهم
از دوست به یادگار دردی دارم
کان درد به صد هزار درمان ندهم

> Stop the words now. Open the window in the center of your chest, and let the spirits fly in and out.

> Leave that which is not,
but appears to be. Seek that which is,
but is not apparent.

beautiful your words, I love your words, I also like the word pearl. assemble first to have fun later on.

> Remember the deep root of your being, the presence of your lord. Give yourself to the one who already owns your breath and your moments. If you don't, you will be like the man who takes a precious dagger and hammers it into his kitchen wall for a peg to hold his dipper gourd. You'll be wasting valuable keenness and forgetting your dignity and purpose.

> My Beloved

> Know that my beloved in hidden from everyone
Know that she is beyond the belief of all beliefs
Know that in my heart she is as clear as the moon
Know that she is the life in my body and in my soul
