'The way is long only

because you delay to start on it;

one single step

would bring you to Him:

become a slave,

and you will become a king

✨

Whatever befalls you, misfortune or fortune,

is unalloyed blessing;

the attendant evil

a fleeing shadow.

✨

No more nonsense! Lose yourself,

and the hell of your heart becomes a heaven.

Lose yourself, and anything can be accomplished.

Your selfishness is an untrained colt

— Sanai
