    will remain eternally pure and faithful.”

    “I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty.

    and you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!

    Kabir will tell you the truth: go wherever you like, to Calcutta or Tibet;
    if you can't find where your soul is hidden,
    for you the world will never be real!”

    Kabir
    “Are you looking for me?
    I am in the next seat.
    My shoulder is against yours.
    you will not find me in the stupas,
    not in Indian shrine rooms,
    nor in synagogues,
    nor in cathedrals:
    not in masses,
    nor kirtans,
    not in legs winding around your own neck,
    nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
    When you really look for me,
    you will see me instantly —
    you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
    Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
    He is the breath inside the breath.”

    Mikhail Naimy
    “Love is the law of God. You live that you may learn to love. You love
    that you may learn to live. No other lesson is required of Man.You are
    the tree of Life. Beware of fractionating yourselves. Set not a fruit against a fruit, a leaf against a leaf, a bough against a bough; nor
    set the stem against the roots; nor set the tree against the mother-
    soil. That is precisely what you do when you love one part more than
    the rest, or to the exclusion of the rest. No love is possible except
    by the love of self. No self is real save the All-embracing Self.
    Therefore is God all Love, because he loves himself. So long as you
    are pained by Love, you have not found your real self, nor have you
    found the golden key of Love. Because you love an ephemeral self, your
    love is ephemeral.”
    Mikhail Naimy, The Book of Mirdad: The strange story of a monastery which was once called The Ark

  • #30
    Mikhail Naimy
    “So think as if your every thought were to be etched in fire upon the sky for all and everything to see. For so, in truth, it is.”
