ليست ترابا هذه الأرض
إنها طست من الدم
من دماء العاشقين
وجراح موت العظام

Don't go off sightseeing.
The real journey is right here.
The great excursion starts
from exactly where you are.
You are the world.
You have everything you need.
You are the secret.
You are the wide opened.

Don't look for the remedy for your troubles
outside yourself.
You are the medicine.
You are the cure for your own sorrow.

Day and night I guarded the pearl of my soul.
Now in this ocean of pearling currents,
I’ve lost track of which was mine.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through, and be silent.

God's joy moved from unmarked box to unmarked box, from cell to cell.

Every tree and plant in the meadow seemed to be dancing, those which average eyes would see as fixed and still.

Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

I am God's Lion, not the lion of passion.... I have no longing except for the One. When a wind of personal reaction comes, I do not go along with it. There are many winds full of anger, and lust and greed. They move the rubbish around, but the solid mountain of our true nature stays where it's always been.

Learn from Ali how to fight without your ego participating. God's lion did nothing that didn't originate from his deep center.

It may be that the satisfaction I need
depends on my going away, so that when I've gone
and come back, I'll find it at home.

The cure for pain is in the pain.
Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both,
you don't belong with us.

The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said or did
about the future. Forget the future.
I'd worship someone who could do that.

Lovers think they are looking for each other,
but there is only one search: wandering
This world is wandering that, both inside one
transparent sky. In here
there is no dogma and no heresy.

Christ is the population of the world, and every object as well. There is no room
for hypocrisy. Why use bitter soup for healing when sweet water is everywhere?
