“May this marriage be blessed.May this marriage be as sweet as milk and honey.May this marriage be as intoxicating as old wine.May this marriage be fruitful like a date tree.May this marriage be full of laughter and everyday a paradise.May this marriage be a seal of compassion for here and hereafter.May this marriage be as welcome as the full moon in the night sky.Listen lovers, now you go on, as I become silent and kiss this blessed night.”
“Be full of sorrow, that you may become hill of joy; weep, that you may break into laughter.”
“I am smiling at myself today There's no wish left in this heart Or perhaps there is no heart left Free from all desire I sit quietly like Earth My silent cry echoes like thunder Throughout the universe I am not worried about it I know it will be heard by no one Except me.”
More on Seeking
“Man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him.”
“When you seek Love with all your Heart, you shall find its echoes in the universe.”
“There they lay, but not in the forgetfulness of the previous night. She was seeking and he was seeking, they raged and contorted their faces and bored their heads into each others bosom in the urgency of seeking something, and their embraces and their tossing limbs did not avail to make them forget, but only reminded them of what they sought”
More on Desire
“You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as you dominant aspiration.”
“I do not want Michael Angelo for breakfast-but for luncheon-for dinner- for tea-for supper-for between meals.”
“Overwhelment is about you not being up to speed with what you told the Universe that you want. The Universe is yielding to you. You're just not ready to receive it right now.”
