My Heart and I

Today my heart and I
Are exceedingly happy,
For we are seeing my mind’s
Ego-balloon
Losing its altitude very rapidly.

If You Are Ready

If you are ready
To go with your Beloved Lord
Even to hell,
Then rest assured,
Your Lord will definitely turn hell
Into the highest Heaven.

No Introduction Needed

Ignorance-night and wisdom-light
Need no introduction.
A life of ignorance is a life
Of senseless self-explanation.
A life of wisdom is a life
Of flawless self-explanation.
