1.   

Last night, in private, I asked the wise old man
To reveal to me the secret of the world.
Softly he whispered, Hush!, in my ear:
It's something you learn, not words you can hear.

2.

Once you have met a True Human Being,
Let him not disappear from the horizon of your Heart.

3.

Open your arms if you want an embrace.

4.

What is planted in each person's soul will sprout.

5.

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?

6.

There is a force within that gives you life.
Seek that.

7.

There is no way into presence except through a Love exchange.

8.

Don't let them think that we've broken down;
That we've cracked up.
We merely dropped leaves,
For a further spring.

9.

You have escaped the cage. Your wings
are stretched out. Now fly.

10.

When we practice loving kindness and compassion
we are the first ones to profit.
