Blessing is excess, so to speak, an excess of everything. Don't be content with being a faqih, say I want more - more than being a Sufi, more than being a mystic - more than each thing that comes before you.
Wisdom
Waste no more Time
"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
The Fullness of Emptiness
"When one discovers the fullness of emptiness, one wishes for nothing more."
We already are
"We already are that for which we are seeking."
The three best things
"Turn yourself not away from three best things: Good Thought, Good Word, and Good Deed."
The two primal Spirits
"Now the two primal Spirits, who reveal themselves in vision as Twins, are the Better and the Bad, in thought and word and action. Between these two the wise ones chose aright; the foolish not so."
Stop, Look, and Listen
"Everything natural - every flower, tree, and animal - has important lessons to teach us if we only STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN."
There are only two Mistakes
"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."
No matter what is going on…Never give up!
"No matter what is going on...Never give up! Develop the heart, be compassionate, work for peace in your heart and in the world, and I say again...Never give up!"
Conveyed by Words
"If whatsoever you have been living can be conveyed by words, that means you have not lived at all."
