Lovers share a sacred decree – to seek the Beloved.They roll head over heels,rushing toward the Beautiful One like a torrent of water.

In truth, everyone is a shadow of the Beloved – Our seeking is His seeking,Our words are His words.

At times we flow toward the Belovedlike a dancing stream.At times we are still waterheld in His pitcher.At times we boil in a potturning to vapor –that is the job of the Beloved.

He breathes into my earuntil my soultakes on His fragrance.He is the soul of my soul –How can I escape?But why would any soul in this worldwant to escape from the Beloved?

He will melt your pridemaking you thin as a strand of hair,Yet do not trade, even for both worlds,One strand of His hair.

We search for Him here and therewhile looking right at Him.Sitting by His side we ask,"O Beloved, where is the Beloved?"

Enough with such questions! –Let silence take you to the core of life.

All your talk is worthlessWhen compared to one whisperof the Beloved.

One Whisper of the Beloved - Rumi

"Aquela que deu nascimento ao Cristo Jesus é a mesma que dentro de vós dará à luz o novo ser. Aquilo que há séculos aconteceu em um Ser, deverá, no novo ciclo, acontecer com a humanidade.Tendes nessa energia o berço da Criação. Sede, também vós, um dos pólos de sua expressão."

Ressurgimento de Fátima, de Trigueirinho

" When you live knowing your true identity, your life will be fruitful and a great adventure. When you don´t know who you are , then no matter what you do, what you achieve, where you go, who you meet, it won´t satisfy you."

Eckhart Tolle

"Man, man is thy brother, and thy father is God."

Alphonse De Lamartine

"O homem iluminado não encontra trevas no caminho, o fogo da sabedoria e da bondade imanará, e por onde ele passar a luz irradiará. Acenda a sua luz interior."

"Se o mal não encontra aliados, logo desfaz-se."

Taoísmo

Hidden behind the veil of mystery, Beauty is eternally free from the slightest stain of imperfection. From the atoms of the world, He created a multitude of mirrors; into each one of them He cast the image of His Face; to the awakened eye, anything that appears beautiful is only a reflection of that Face.
Now that you have seen the reflection, hurry to its Source; in that primordial Light the reflection vanishes completely. Do not linger far from that primal Source; when the reflection fades, you will be lost in darkness. The reflection is as transient as the smile of a rose; if you want permanence, turn towards the Source; if you want fidelity, look to the Mine of faithfulness. Why tear your soul apart over something here one moment and gone the next?

Jami - 'Perfume of the Desert'

"Each moment from all sides rushes to us the call to love.

We are running to contemplate its vast green field.

Do you want to come with us?

This is not the time to stay at home,

But to go out and give yourself to the Garden."

Rumi

"How much harder it is to bear one's splendour than one's miseries!"

Douglas Harding

"You don't need to obsess over the attainment of future realizations. As long as you act in the present with as much understanding as you possibly can, you'll realize everlasting peace in no time at all."

Lama Zopa Rinpoche
