“When the light returns to its source, it takes nothing of what it has illuminated.”

“There is another language beyond language,another place beyond heaven and hell.Precious gems come from another mine,the heart draws light from another source.”

“You have no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You. Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.”

“Your body is wovenfrom the light of heaven.Are you awarethat its purity and swiftnessis the envy of angelsand its couragekeeps even devils away.”

“When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish.Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.”

“If the Beautiful One is not inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?”

“True beauty is a rayThat springs from the sacred depths of the soul,and illuminates the body, just as lifesprings from the kernel of a stone andgives colour and scent to a flower.”
