" "

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being,the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

أنت حر أمام شمس النهار .. وأنت حر أمام قمر الليل وكواكبه ,, وأنت حر حيث لا شمس ولا قمر ولا كواكب .. بل أنت حر عندما تغمض عينيك عن الكيان بكليته. ولكن أنت عبد لمن تحب لأنك تحبه , وأنت عبد لمن يحبك لأنه يحبك
