"So many bodies, so many opinions! But my Beloved, though invisible, is in all these bodies. There is no life at all without the Beloved; the Self lives as each and every one."

"The beloved is hidden where you refuse to look: in yourself."

"Bada hua to kya hua, jaise ped khajoor. Panthi ko chhaya nahin, phal lage atidoor. (What good is it to be big like a date palm tree? It gives no shade to travelers, and its fruit is far out of reach.)"

"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You wander here and there in search of water, but there is no water anywhere."

"The seeker is thirsty, but the water is in the well. The well is in the house, but the house is locked."
