Land of the rising sun

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

When I die, I shall soar with angels, and when I die to the angels, what I shall become you cannot imagine.

Why should I be unhappy? Every parcel of my being is in full bloom.

Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

Whenever you argue with another wiser than yourself in order that others may admire your wisdom, they will discover your ignorance.

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.

When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.

He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God.
