You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.
Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.
What is planted in each person’s soul will sprout.
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live.
The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.
If light is in your heart, you will find your way home.
This is a subtle truth. Whatever you love you are.
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.
Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open.
As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.
It’s your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot. Seek the path that demands your whole being.
Don’t you know yet? It is your light that lights the worlds.
The very center of your heart is where life begins – the most beautiful place on earth.
Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought.
Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.
Be full of sorrow, that you may become hill of joy; weep, that you may break into laughter.
Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor.
When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.
When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.
Take someone who doesn’t keep score, who’s not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: he’s free.
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.
Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absentminded. Someone sober will worry about things going badly. Let the lover be.
Reason is powerless in the expression of love.
