Fatihah

“Beyond the earth,
beyond the farthest skies
I try to find Heaven and Hell.
Then I hear a solemn voice that says:
"Heaven and hell are inside.”
― Omar Khayyám, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

“Scholars really have nothing to teach you.
But from the soft touch of the eyelashes of
a woman you will know all there is to know about happiness.
Buy wine, take it to
a secluded place and let it comfort you.”
― Omar Khayyám, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

“Poor soul, you will never know anything
of real importance. You will not uncover
even one of life's secrets. Although all religions
promise paradise, take care to create your own
paradise here and now on earth.”
― Omar Khayyám, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

“You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.”
― Eckhart Tolle
