Open Your Eyes of Love
“Open your eyes of love, and see Him who pervades this world!
consider it well, and know that this is your own country.”
Do not go to the garden of flowers
“Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O Friend! Go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus,
and there gaze on the Infinite Beauty.”
I Lost Myself
“I went looking for Him
And lost myself;
The drop merged with the Sea
Who can find it now?
Looking and looking for Him
I lost myself;
The Sea merged with the drop
Who can find it now?”
You are thirsty and dying in a desert
“Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert, when all around you there is nothing but water!”
My swan, let us fly to that land
“My swan, let us fly to that land
Where your Beloved lives forever.
That land is always soaked in moonlight;
Darkness can never come near it.
It is flooded always with the dazzle
Of not one, but a million suns.”
