When we stop measuring life by time,
We will know the mystery of timelessness,
Immortality, and the beauty of existence.
…
Time is the ladder between the visible and invisible worlds,
With steps both visible and invisible, accessible and inaccessible,
Comprehensible and incomprehensible,
Steps for both ascending and descending.
…
Time is the golden cup in which the water of life is kept.
It dies, drop by drop, if we spill it with careless hands.
…
Our life is like a watch with two hands – earthly and heavenly.
We live our life on the edges of these hands.
…
Life, grounded in ideals, is beautiful.
Tragedy and failure come when
These ideals are being injured.
…
Self-admiration cuts a man in two and robs him of all naturalness.
Love makes him whole, since there is nothing more natural than love.
…
Heavenly love settles in the heart
Where it warms, reconciles, and raises us up.
Earthly love lives on the tip of the tongue:
First it tempts with sweet songs,
And then it poisons with cold indifference.
…
The fatherland begins with motherhood,
The mother begins with the family,
And the family begins with the father.
…
In two there’s opposition.
In three – wholeness.
…
To find is not as important as to save.
…
Mind knows,
Soul contains,
Spirit fills.
…
Beginning with the female, there is continuation;
With the male, confirmation.
…
Genius turns up where man exceeds his human nature,
And in God’s nature finds himself.
…
In search of harmony, we are compelled
By an imperfection and emptiness that demands filling.
Upon finding harmony, freedom is found.
…
Love can save a man from the madness of the whole world.
…
We can only fight against fraudulence with natural innocence.
…
The more bitter the tears, the sweeter the consolation.
…
Women’s mysteries emerge as men try to solve them.
…
Sometimes it seems that we have avenged our lives,
But in reality, it’s on our very selves that we have taken vengeance.
…
The surrounding world is a cup filled with the living water of life:
The taste depends on the lips tasting it.
…
First become what you can,
Then what you want.
…
Truth comes from the earth.
Harmony from the heavens;
When these two essences come together,
earthly beauty is sanctified by heavenly love.
…
The rich man is not the one who possesses most
but the one who values most what he possesses.
…
He loved himself so much that he never even came out of himself.
…
The best job is like a cup:
The more you drink from it, the more you want its water.
The worst job is like the sea:
The farther you swim, the faster you want to reach land.
…
Love unites a family for its enrichment,
Sinful desires confuse for its devastation.
Sinful love befuddles, devastation is its aim.
