And because I love this life I know I shall love death as well. The child cries out when From the right breast the mother Takes it away, in the very next moment To Find in the left one Its consolation.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung.
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
It is our desires that limit the scope of our self-realization, hinder our extension of consciousness, and give rise to sin, which is the innermost barrier that keeps us apart from our God, setting up disunion and arrogance of exclusiveness.
Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.
Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the afterglow of sunset at the margin of starry silence.
My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.
Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.
