If you are seeking closeness to the Beloved,
love everyone.
Whether in their presence or absence,
see only their good.
If you want to be as clear and refreshing as
the breath of the morning breeze,
like the sun, have nothing but warmth and light
for everyone.

"Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger."
If it is “Honest” it will never hurt,
But when it reflects a personal judgement, it turns to a dagger in the heart.
“Being right too soon is socially unacceptable.”
How many times we hurt each other under the pretext that we are honest and right?
Honesty or rightness has nothing to do with that ….
It’s all about … are we capable to be sensitive to others feelings?

Where shall I go, tell me, you command me whence?

Tear down every thing in sight
But don't (tear down) break anyone's heart

Or of all your prayers and obeisance.
If you don't identify Man as God,
All your learning is of no use at all.
The true meaning of the four holy books
Is found in the alphabet's first letter.
You talk about that first letter, preacher;
What is the meaning of that-could you tell?
Yunus Emre says to you, Pharisee,
Make the holy pilgrimage if need be
A hundred times -- but if you ask me,
A visit to the heart is best of all.''
I heard a bird sing
In the night of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,"
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

"O Player, play something pleasing to the ear,
With a song and a Gahzal begin a story, dear
My sorrows have tied me to the ground,
Raise me with my principles that are sound,
O Singer, with the sound of the stream
Play and sing that majestic song I dream,
Make the great souls happy with you"
''I said,
'O sweet beloved,
you are the refuge of my soul.'
He said, 'If you belong to me,
don't talk of your own soul.'
I said, 'Why do you cut me
with your sharp words?'
He said, 'My words wouldn't hurt you
if you weren't in love with yourself.''
I no longer
know the difference
between image and reality
Like the shadow
I am
And
I am not
