  • The interconnectedness of life and the universe.
  • The balance between joy and sorrow in personal growth.
  • The importance of perspective in understanding truth and beauty.
  • The complexities of human relationships and the search for meaning.

Walking on Edges and the Sea's Embrace

The speaker begins with a reflection on impermanence, describing walking between the sand and the foam, where waves erase footprints and wind blows away traces. Despite this, the sea and shore remain, symbolizing enduring truths. The speaker shares a mystical experience of filling a fist with mist, which transforms into various forms—a worm, a bird, a sad man—before reverting to mist, accompanied by a sweet tune. This illustrates the transient nature of forms and the underlying harmony of existence.

The Circle of Life and Infinite Oceans

The speaker transitions to a realization of completeness within the circle of life, understanding oneself as the whole circle with life's pieces revolving within. This contrasts with the perception of being a mere grain of sand on an infinite shore. In dreams, the speaker envisions being the infinite ocean, with all worlds as grains of sand on their shore, emphasizing a shift in perspective from insignificance to boundlessness.

Encounters and Ancient Words

The speaker recounts an encounter where they were asked, "Who are you?" and reflects on humanity as God's first word. They touch on a long history of wandering and searching before language, questioning how to describe the past with only yesterday's words. The Sphinx's statement about the grain of sand being a desert and vice versa is mentioned, highlighting the interconnectedness and scale of existence.

Dust of Egypt and the Nile's Bank

The speaker describes a period of silence and unawareness in the dust of Egypt, followed by a rebirth from the sun and a journey along the Nile, singing with the day and dreaming with the night. Despite the sun's attempt to make them sleep in the dust again, they stand upright and walk smoothly along the Nile's bank, illustrating resilience and transformation.

Time, Distance, and the River of Light

The speaker explores the concepts of remembering and forgetting, likening them to meeting and freedom, respectively. They question how to reconcile measuring time with small clocks and the vast rotation of suns. The absence of distance between the earth and sun for those who gaze at the Milky Way is noted, followed by a description of humanity as a river of light flowing eternally.

The Holy City and the Lion's Prey

The speaker recounts a journey towards a holy city, guided by a traveler who ultimately led them astray. This leads to the realization of being given the wrong direction and the traveler's anger. A prayer is offered: "God, make me a prey to the lion but do not make me a hunter of rabbits," expressing a desire for meaningful challenges over petty pursuits.

The House and the Path

The speaker describes a conflict between the comfort of home and the call of the path, recognizing that even in stillness, there is movement, and vice versa. They conclude that only love and death can truly change everything, emphasizing the transformative power of these forces.

Justice of Life and Hating the Soul

The speaker questions the justice of life, noting that dreams of those who sleep on wings are not necessarily more beautiful than those who sleep on the ground. They express the strange pain of desiring happiness. Seven instances of hating their soul are listed, each representing a compromise of integrity or a failure to recognize truth within oneself.

Dreams, Paradise, and Understanding

The speaker acknowledges not knowing the real truth but leaning on their own naivety, finding respect and reward in this stance. They describe the space between a man's dream and achievement as one traversable only by desire. Paradise is depicted as being just behind a door in the next room, but the key is lost. The speaker suggests that the blind and deaf should hold hands to understand each other, emphasizing the importance of what one wants to get over what one gets.

Ink, Papers, and Sponges

The speaker uses the metaphor of ink and paper to illustrate interdependence, noting that some must be black for others to speak, and some must be white for others to see. Thoughts are likened to sponges and the heart to a river, with most people preferring to suck rather than flow. The speaker suggests that when one desires a happiness they cannot name or feels sad without reason, it signifies growth and movement towards a bigger form.

Intoxication and Empty Cups

The speaker observes that even slight statements of someone lost in dreams seem like alcohol. They drink to regain senses through another intoxication. Accepting an empty cup is easier than dealing with one that is half full, indicating a preference for clarity over ambiguity.

Truth of Another Person and Useless Words

The speaker asserts that the truth of another person lies not in what they show, but in what they conceal. To understand someone, one must understand what they do not say. Half of what the speaker says is deemed useless, but it is said so that the other half reaches the listener.

Laughing, Loneliness, and the Thinker

Laughing is described as an understanding of calculation. Loneliness arose when people praised the evils the speaker spoke and criticized their silent goodness. When life cannot find a singer to express its heart, it creates a thinker to speak its mind.

Truth, Silence, and Two Women

The speaker advises always understanding the truth but speaking only occasionally, noting that what is real in us is silent. They suggest that the voice of life inside cannot reach others, but conversation can alleviate loneliness. Two women talking may say nothing, but when a woman speaks, she speaks for her entire life.

Frogs, Winter, and Seeds

Frogs croak louder than oxen but cannot perform essential tasks like plowing or grinding. Only the dumb are jealous of those who speak. If winter claims spring is in its heart, no one will believe it. Every seed is a desire.

Open Eyes, Open Ears, and Window Panes

Looking with open eyes reveals one's image in everything, and listening with open ears reveals one's voice. It takes two people to understand the truth: one who speaks and one who understands. Thoughts are like window panes, allowing us to see the truth but also separating us from it.

Hide and Seek and a Sad Heart

The speaker suggests playing hide and seek, noting that hiding in the heart is easy to find, but hiding behind a shell is impossible. A woman can hide her face even with a smile. The speaker admires the sad heart that sings a song of joy with happy hearts.

Understanding a Woman and Walking with Everyone

Trying to understand a woman, break a genius, or solve a secret riddle is like waking from a pleasant dream and sitting down to breakfast. The speaker wants to walk with everyone, not just watch the procession. One cannot repay service with gold alone; one must give their heart or serve in return.

Towers from Bones and the Poet's Mind

The speaker reflects that lives are not lived in vain if towers are built from their bones. They urge against tearing each other apart, noting that the poet's mind and the scorpion's tail rise from the same soil. Every dragon has within itself a St. George who kills it.

Trees, Writing, and Inspiration

Trees are described as the poem the earth writes on the sky, which humans cut down to make paper for writing about emptiness. To write, one needs knowledge, art, and music: the knowledge of the music of words, the art of simplicity, and the magic of loving readers. Some dip their pen in our hearts and think they have found inspiration.

The Tree's Story and Choosing Joy

If a tree wrote its story, it would be the story of a species. If the speaker had to choose between the power of writing poetry and the joy of not having written poetry, they would choose joy, considering it a better poem.

Poetry, the Word, and the Poet as King

Poetry is not an opinion but comes from either a bleeding wound or a smiling face. The word is immortal and should be spoken or written with the understanding that it will always remain. A poet is a king sitting on the ashes of his burnt palace, trying to create some shape with his eyes.

Poetry's Union and the Poet's Worth

Poetry is a union of joy, pain, surprise, and a bit of dictionary. The poet searches in vain for the mother of the songs of his heart. The speaker recalls telling a poet that his worth would only be understood after death, to which the poet agreed, noting that death always reveals everything.

Singing Beauty and Wisdom's Spell

Singing a song of beauty, even alone in the desert, will attract listeners. Poetry is the wisdom that casts a spell on the heart, and wisdom is the poetry that sings in the mind. Casting a spell on a person's heart and singing in their mind allows them to truly live under God's shadow.

Inspiration, Lullabies, and Crumbs of the Mind

Inspiration always sings and never explains. Lullabies are sung to children so they can sleep. All words are just crumbs that fall from the feast of the mind.

Thinking, Singing Silence, and a Mouth Full of Food

Thinking always blocks the path to poetry. The perfect singer sings our silence. One cannot sing with a mouth full of food or pray with a hand full of gold.

The Nightingale's Song and Genius

The nightingale sings a love song while pricking its heart with a thorn. Genius is just a bird's song, slowly heralding the beginning of spring.

The Winged Spirit and the Mother's Heart

Even the most winged spirit cannot escape the needs of the body. A "Paagal" (madman) is also a musician, but his instrument is out of tune. The song that is silent in the mother's heart sings on the lips of her child.

Unfulfilled Wishes and the Other Side of Myself

No wish remains unfulfilled. The speaker never completely agreed with the other side of themself, believing the truth lies somewhere between the two.

Kindness, Sorrow, and the Battle Within

The other side is always kind, but the other form falls into sorrow, so everything is fine. The battle between the soul and body only occurs in those whose soul is asleep and body is out of tune.

Reaching the Heart of Life and Finding Beauty

Reaching the heart of life reveals beauty in everything, even in eyes that cannot see it. We live only to find beauty; everything else is waiting.

Sowing Seeds and the Devil's Demise

Sowing a seed makes the earth blossom, and telling a dream to the sky brings love. The devil died the day you were born, so you won't have to go to hell to meet an angel.

Borrowing Hearts and Touching Hands

Many women borrow a man's heart, but few become its owner. To get it, don't claim it. When a man's hand touches a woman's hand, both touch hearts forever.

Love's Veil and Two Women

Love is the veil between two lovers. Every man loves two women: one made from his thoughts and the second not yet born.

Forgetting Mistakes and New Love

A man who cannot forget the small mistakes of women will never see their big qualities. Love that isn't new every day becomes a habit, then slavery.

Embracing What's Between and Love's Light

Lovers embrace not each other but what is between them. Love and doubt never talk to each other. Love is a word of light, written by Roshni's hand on Roshni's paper.

Friendship's Duty and Understanding Friends

Friendship is always a sweet duty, never a chance. If you don't understand your friend under all circumstances, you never will.

Bright Clothes and Comfortable Beds

Your brightest clothes are woven by someone else, your most delicious food eaten at someone else's home, and your most comfortable bed is in someone else's home. How can you differentiate yourself from others?

Minds, Hearts, and Seven Words

Your mind and my heart can never be one as long as your mind is only in counting and my heart is in fog. We will understand each other only when we reduce our tongue to just seven words.

Broken Hearts and Great Sorrow

My heart won't open until it's broken. Only great sorrow or great happiness can show your truth. To show off, either dance naked in the sun or carry your burden.

Nature's Satisfaction and Breathing Air

If nature listened to our satisfaction, no river would flow to the sea, and no winter would turn into spring. If it listened to our savings, how many of us would breathe this air?

Shadows, Freedom, and Slavery

Turning your back to the sun reveals only your shadow. Be free in the daytime sun, in front of the night stars, and even when there is no sun, moon, or stars. You are free even when you close your eyes but a slave to the one you love because you love them.

Beggars at the Temple and the King's Gifts

We are all beggars at the door of the temple, taking our share of the king's gifts. We are all jealous of each other, which belittles the king.

Hunger, Bread, and the Sweet Wolf

You cannot spend more than your hunger; the second piece of bread belongs to someone else, and a little should remain for the guest. Without guests, every house becomes a grave. A sweet wolf invited a shy sheep to their home, but the sheep declined, knowing the home was inside the wolf's stomach.

Wiping Feet and the Big-Hearted One

The speaker stopped a guest at the door, instructing them to wipe their feet while leaving, not entering. The big-hearted one gives what they need more than the receiver.

Giving and Shame of the Receiver

A real giver turns their face away while giving, so they cannot see the shame of the receiver.

Richest and Poorest and Borrowing from Yesterday

The difference between the richest and poorest is a matter of one day's hunger and an hour's thirst. We often borrow from yesterday and worry about tomorrow to pay off old debts.

Angels, Devils, and Old Prayers

Angels and devils come to the speaker, but they drive them away. They bore the angel with old prayers and the devil with old crimes.

The Jail and the Snake for a Fish

The jail isn't bad, but the wall between rooms is disliked. The speaker doesn't criticize the keeper or builder. The person who gives a snake when asked for a fish may only have a snake but still has a big heart.

Cunningness and Forgiving Murderers

Cunningness sometimes succeeds but always results in its own destruction. The only way to truly forgive is to forgive a murderer who never murdered, a thief who stole nothing, and a liar who did not lie.

Touching God's Garment and a Mountain of Fire

He who can put a finger between good and evil can touch the edge of God's garment. How will you find a flower in your hand if your heart is a mountain of fire?

Wanting to Be Wronged and Pretending to Run Away

The speaker sometimes wants to be wronged or cheated to laugh at those who think they are unaware. What should be said about the one who pretends to be running away even when being chased?

Dirty Hands and Money Dealers

Give your clothes to the person who cleans your dirty hands with them, as they may need them again, but you won't. Those who deal with money can never become good gardeners.

Real Mistakes and Taking the Blame

Don't hide your real mistakes with learned qualities; the speaker wants mistakes because they are just like them. They have often taken the blame for crimes they never committed to make the person in front of them feel comfortable.

Faces of Life and Understanding Others

The faces of life are also the faces of a deep secret. You can understand others only when you understand yourself. Who among us is guilty and who is innocent?

Showing Justice and Breaking Laws

In truth, only he shows justice who considers half of your mistakes as his own. Only a fool or a genius breaks man-made laws, and they are the closest to God.

Running Fast and Equal Power

You run fast only when you are being chased. The speaker has no enemies, but if there is one, their power should be equal so that only truth wins.

Best Friends in Death and Self-Defense

When you're both dead, you'll be best friends with your enemy. Maybe a man takes his own life in self-defense.

Loving Too Much and Punching a Promoter

Long ago, a man was crucified for loving too much. The speaker encountered this three times yesterday: telling a policeman not to take a prostitute to jail, drinking a different kind of alcohol, and punching a promoter inside a church.

Good and Evil and Being Kind

If everything about good and evil is true, then the speaker's life is just one long crime. Being kind is also half justice. The only person who does injustice to the speaker is the one whose brother they have done injustice to.

Going to Jail and Escaping Something Worse

When you see a man going to jail, think he may be escaping from another small prison. When you see someone drunk, think they may be escaping from something worse.

Hating Safety and Covering Hatred

The speaker has often hated their safety, but if they were strong, they wouldn't use such a thing. How foolish is he who tries to cover the hatred in his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Jealousy, Praise, and Compliments

Only people below the speaker can be jealous or hate them, but no one ever has because the speaker is not above anyone. Only those above can praise or belittle, but nobody ever complimented the speaker, who doesn't consider themself small or inferior.

Understanding and Insults

Being told that one is not understood is a compliment beyond worth, and it is an insult to say something undeserved. How small the speaker is when life gives them gold, and they give silver, yet they still think they have a big heart.

Reaching the Heart of Life and Pitying the Slow

Reaching the heart of life reveals that you are neither above a thief nor below a prophet. It is strange to pity those who walk slowly but not those who think slowly, and to help the blind but not those who are blind at heart.

Lame People and Giving from the Pocket

It is wise for a lame person not to break their stick on the enemy's head. How blind is he who gives from his pocket so that he can take from your heart.

Life as a Procession and Committing Sins

Life is a procession; the slower one says it's too fast and gets out, and the faster walker says it's too slow and is also out. If there is something called sin, some commit sins following their ancestors, and some commit sins by pressuring their children.

Good and Bad and Imprisonment

That which is truly good is one with all that is called bad. We're all imprisoned; some just have a prison window.

Defending Mistakes and Telling Sins

It's strange that we defend our mistakes more loudly than our truth. If we all tell each other our sins, we will laugh at each other's imitations. Even if we all show our good qualities, we will still laugh for the same reason.

Laws Made by Man and Government

A man is above the laws made by man unless he commits a crime against the customs made by humans. After that, he is neither above nor below anyone. Government is an agreement between you and me, and you and I are often both wrong.

Crime, Mistakes, and Laughing at Others

Crime is either another name for need or a part of some disease. The biggest mistake is to see the mistakes of others. If someone laughs at you, you can feel pity for them, but if you laugh at others, you will never be able to forgive yourself.

Hurting Others and Your Softest Form

If someone hurts you, you can forget, but if you hurt him, he will remember it forever. Actually, the second one is your softest form, just in a different body.

Carelessness and Eating Bread

You are so careless when you want others to fly with your wings but can't even give them a single feather. Once, a man ate the speaker's bread, drank their wine, and went away laughing, then returned asking for more, and the angels laughed at the speaker's refusal.

Hatred and the Person Being Murdered

Hatred is a dead thing; who would want it to be a grave? The person being murdered has respect in that he is not a murderer.

Humanity's Place and Trading Days for Gold

The real place of humanity is in his silent heart, not in his speaking mind. The speaker is called crazy for not wanting to trade their days for gold, and they call others crazy for thinking their days have any value.

Gold, Silver, and Our Souls

Some spread out gold, silver, ivory, and black wood, while others pour out their hearts and souls before them, yet the former consider themselves the masters and the latter the guests.

Smallest of Men and Poorest of All

The speaker would rather be the smallest of men with dreams and a desire to fulfill them than the greatest of men with no dreams and no desires. The poorest of all is he who turns his dreams into gold and silver.

Climbing to the Peak and Pitying the Fat

We are all climbing to the peak of our heart’s desire. If another person takes your bag and money while climbing and becomes fat, you should pity him, as the climb will be more difficult. When you are thin and see his fat body, help him, and you will become faster.

Understanding a Person and a Winner's Sermon

You cannot understand a person more than you know about him, and how little your knowledge is. The speaker doesn't want to listen to a winner's sermon to a loser.

Bearing the Burden and Life Dancing on a Grave

He who is truly free bears the burden of a slave with patience. A thousand years ago, the speaker's neighbor hated life because it was all misery, but yesterday, they saw life dancing on his grave.

Nature's Conflict and Loneliness

Nature's conflict is merely restlessness seeking solace. Loneliness is a silent storm that breaks our dead branches but takes the living roots deeper into the ground.

Talking to a River and the Ocean

Once, the speaker talked to a small river about the ocean, and the river thought they were a dreamer. When they talked to the ocean about a small river, the ocean thought they were a slanderer.

Narrow-Mindedness and the Greatest Good

How narrow-minded it is to put the work of an ant above the praise of a straw and degrade the song of a grasshopper. The greatest good here might be the smallest anywhere else.

Deep and High and Weights and Measures

That which is very deep or very high goes to the depth or height by a straight path. Only that which is very big can move in circles. If we stop thinking about weights and measures, we will see the firefly just like we see the sun.

Scientists, Butchers, and Singing

A scientist without imagination is like a butcher with a blunt knife and old scales. When you sing, the hungry listens with his stomach.

Death, Life, and Speaking Clearly

Death is as close to the old as to the newborn. Life is also like that. If you really want to speak clearly, then speak with love; otherwise, keep quiet because a man is dying in our neighborhood.

Final Journey and Forgetting Reality

Maybe the final journey of humans is a wedding feast for the angels. She who forgets reality can die and leave behind 7000 truths and sayings in her will, which are spent on her funeral and building her grave.

0:03 I always walk on these edges. Between the sand and the foam. The big wave will erase my footprints and the wind will blow away the foam. But the sea and the shore will always remain. Once I filled my fist with mist. Then I opened it and saw the mist turn into a worm. Then turned it off. When I opened it, there was a bird. Then turned it off. When I opened it, there was a man with a sad face looking up. Then turned it off again. When I opened it there was just mist. But

0:51 a sweet tune was heard. Till yesterday I felt that I was an incomplete piece in the circle of life. Now I know that I am the whole circle and the pieces of life revolve within me. People tell me that you and your world are just grains of sand on the infinite shore of an infinite ocean and in my dreams I tell them that I am the infinite ocean and all the worlds are just grains of sand on my shore. It was

1:44 only once that he fell silent. When a man asked me who are you? God's first thought was an angel. God 's first word is a man. For thousands of years we were wandering, flying, searching for something. Long before the sea and the forest air gave us words. Now how can we tell about our past with just yesterday's words.

2:33 Sphis spoke only once and said that a grain of sand is also a desert and the desert is also a grain of sand. And then everyone becomes silent again. I heard this saying but did not understand it. I lay in the dust of Egypt for a long time. Was silent. I was not even aware of the weather. Then the sun gave birth to me. I got up and walked along the Nile. Singing along with the day. I kept dreaming with the night and now the sun

3:18 walks over me with thousands of feet so that I can sleep in the dust again. But look at a strange thing, the same sun that united me cannot remove me now. I stand upright now and walk smoothly along the Nile's bank. Remembering is also like meeting. Forgetting is also like freedom. We measure time by the rotation of many suns and that is with a small clock box.

4:08 Now tell me how can both of us meet at the same place at the same time? There is no distance between the earth and the sun in the sky. For the one who looks through the window at the Milky Way. Humanity is a river of light that flows from forever to forever. Don't the ghosts living in the air feel

4:54 jealous of human pain? As I was going to the holy city, I met another traveler. I asked, is this the way to the holy city? He said, follow me. You will reach there one day, one night. I followed him. It lasted for many days and many nights. But the holy city did not come. And I was surprised that he got angry at me because I told him the wrong direction. God,

5:40 make me a prey to the lion but do not make me a hunter of rabbits. [MUSIC] The way to morning leads through the night. [MUSIC] My house tells me don't go. This is your old time here. And the path tells me come walk with me. I am your tomorrow. I tell both the house and the path that neither anyone has passed by nor anyone is going to come. Even if I

6:28 stop here, I am moving and even if I go away, I am still stopping. Only love and death can change everything. How can I doubt the justice of life? Those who sleep on wings, their dreams are not more beautiful than those who sleep on the ground. It is strange. The desire to get some happiness is also my pain. Seven times I hated my soul. The

7:14 first time I saw her she was being humble just to get heights. The second time she limped in front of someone who was himself lame. The third time he chose the easy between the difficult and the easy. The fourth time he made a mistake and consoled himself that others also make mistakes. The fifth time he tolerated it due to weakness and thought it was his strength. The sixth time he saw someone's ugly face and didn't realize it was one of his own.

8:02 And the seventh time he sang a song of praise and realized that it was his sin. I don’t know the real truth. But I lean on my own naivety. This is where my respect lies. This is my reward. [MUSIC] There's a space between a man's dream and his achievement, where only his desire can take him.

8:50 Paradise is there behind that door in the next room but I've lost the key. Maybe he has kept it somewhere. have forgotten. You are blind and I am deaf and dumb. So come, let's hold hands and understand. The importance of a man lies not in what he gets, but in what he wants to get. Some of us are like ink. Some papers are

9:37 like if some of us were not black in colour then some of us would not be able to speak and if some of us were not white in colour then some of us would not be able to see. Give me a job and I will call you. Our thoughts are sponges. Our heart is a river. It is strange. Most people prefer sucking rather than flowing. When you desire a happiness that you

10:24 cannot even name. And when you are sad without any reason then understand that you are growing along with everyone. You are moving towards your bigger form. When someone is lost in his dreams, even his slightest statement seems like alcohol to him. You drink alcohol to get intoxicated. I drink so that I can regain my senses through another intoxication.

11:12 When my cup is empty, I accept its emptiness. But when it’s half full , I feel worse than it being half full. [MUSIC] The truth of another person is not what he shows you. But there is something in it that he doesn’t show. So if you want to understand him then don't listen to him. Understand what he does not say. Half of what I say is useless, but I say it

11:57 so that the other half reaches you. [MUSIC] Laughing is an understanding of calculation. My loneliness arose when people praised the evils I spoke. And called my silent goodness bad. When life cannot find a singer to speak its heart out, it creates a thinker to speak its mind.

12:51 Always understand the truth. Speak only occasionally. What is real in us is silent. The one who has learnt is the one who will speak. The voice of life inside me cannot reach you. But let's talk so that we do n't feel lonely. [MUSIC] Two women talk but they don't say anything. But when a woman speaks, she speaks for her entire life.

13:40 [MUSIC] Frogs croak louder than oxen but they can't plow fields or grind grapes and their skins can't be used to make shoes. Only the dumb are jealous of those who speak. If winter says that spring is in my heart then who will believe it?

14:25 [MUSIC] Every seed is a desire. If you look with open eyes, you will see your image in everything and if you listen with open ears, you will hear your voice in everything. It takes two people to understand the truth. One who speaks and one who understands. The wave of words is always upon us. But

15:13 our depths are always silent. Many thoughts are like window panes. We see the truth from them. But they separate us from the truth. [MUSIC] Let's play hide and seek today. If you hide in my heart, it will be easy to find you. But if you hide behind your shell, no one can find you. A woman can hide her face even with a smile.

16:09 How wonderful is that sad heart that sings a song of joy with happy hearts. He who tries to understand a woman or break a genius or solve a secret riddle is the man who wakes up from a pleasant dream and sits down to breakfast. [MUSIC] I want to walk with everyone who walks. I don't want to stop and watch the procession. You ca

17:10 n't repay the debt of someone who serves you with just gold. Give your heart or serve it. [MUSIC] No, we didn't live our lives in vain. Did n't they build towers from our bones ? [MUSIC] Let's not tear us apart. The poet's mind and the scorpion's tail rise from the same soil.

17:58 Every dragon has within itself a St. George who kills it. Trees are the poem that the earth writes on the sky. We cut them out and make paper so that we can write about our emptiness. If you want to write and only Sadhu knows why you want to. So you need knowledge, art and music. The knowledge of the music of words, the art of simplicity

18:45 and the magic of loving your readers. They dip their pen in our hearts and think that they have got inspiration. [MUSIC] If a tree wrote its story, it would be the story of a species. [MUSIC] If I had to choose between the power of writing poetry and the joy of not having written

19:31 poetry, I'd choose joy. That is a much better poem. But you and all my neighbors say that I always choose wrongly. Poetry is not an opinion. Poetry either comes out of a bleeding wound or a smiling face. [MUSIC] The word is immortal. You should say or write this with the

20:17 understanding that this will always remain. A poet is a king sitting on the ashes of his burnt palace. And tries to create some shape with his eyes. Poetry is a union of joy, pain, surprise and a bit of dictionary. The poet searches in vain for the mother of the songs of his heart.

21:06 I once told a poet that we will understand your worth only when you die. He said, yes, death always shows everything. And if you want to understand my worth then know this. There is more in my heart that I cannot say and there is more in my desire that is not in my hands. If you sing a song of beauty, even if you are alone in the middle of the desert, you will still have listeners.

21:57 Poetry is the wisdom that casts a spell on the heart. Wisdom is the poetry that sings in the mind. If we can cast a spell on a person's heart and sing in his mind, then he will truly live under the shadow of God. Inspiration always sings. Inspiration never explains. We often sing lullabies to our children so that they can sleep.

22:48 All our words are just crumbs that fall from the feast of the mind. [MUSIC] Thinking always blocks the path to poetry. [MUSIC] He is the perfect singer who sings our silence. How can you sing when your mouth is full of food ? How will your hand pray when it is full of gold? [Music] It is

23:37 said that the nightingale sings a love song while pricking its heart with a thorn. We are also like that. And how to sing? Genius is just a bird's song. Slowly comes the beginning of spring. [MUSIC] Even the most winged spirit cannot escape the needs of the body. Paagal is also a musician like both of us. Only the

24:26 instrument he plays is a little out of tune. The song that is silent in the mother's heart sings on the lips of her child. [MUSIC] No wish remains unfulfilled. I never completely agreed with the other side of myself. The truth lies somewhere between the two. [MUSIC]

25:11 Your other side is always kind to you. But your other form falls into sorrow. So everything is fine. The battle between the soul and the body takes place only in the minds of those whose soul is asleep and whose body is out of tune. When you reach the heart of life. You will see beauty in everything. Even in those eyes that cannot see beauty.

26:02 We live only to find beauty. Everything else is waiting. If you sow a seed, the earth will blossom. Tell your dream to the sky and it will bring you your love. The devil died the day you were born. Now you won't have to go to hell to meet an angel.

26:52 Many women borrow a man's heart, but very few can become its owner. If you want to get it then don't claim it. When a man's hand touches a woman's hand, both touch hearts forever. Love is the veil that is between two lovers.

27:42 Every man loves two women. One is made from his thoughts. The second one is not born yet. A man who cannot forget the small mistakes of women will never be able to see their big qualities. [MUSIC] Love that isn't new every day becomes a habit, and then it becomes slavery.

28:30 Lovers embrace not each other but what is between them. Love and doubt never talk to each other. [MUSIC] Love is a word of light. It is written by Roshni's hand. It is written on Roshni's paper. [MUSIC] Friendship is always a sweet duty. No chance.

29:15 [MUSIC] If you don't understand your friend under all circumstances, you never will. Your brightest clothes are woven by someone else. Your most delicious food has been eaten at someone else 's home. Your most comfortable bed is in someone else's home. Now tell me how can you differentiate yourself from others ? Your mind and my heart can never be one as long as your mind is only

30:03 in counting and my heart is in fog. We will understand each other only when we reduce our tongue to just seven words. My heart won't open until it's broken. Only great sorrow or great happiness can show your truth. If you want to show off then either dance naked in the sun or carry your burden.

30:52 [MUSIC] If nature listens to our satisfaction then no river would flow to the sea. May no winter turn into spring. If he had listened to our savings then how many of us would have breathed this air. When you turn your back to the sun, you see only your shadow. You are free in the daytime sun.

31:39 Be free even in front of the night stars. And when there is no sun, no moon, no stars, you will still be free. You are free even when you close your eyes. But you are a slave to the one you love. Because you love him. And be a slave to the one who loves you because he loves you. We are all beggars at the door of the temple and everyone takes his share of the king's gifts.

32:26 When he comes to the temple, when he goes out and we all are jealous of each other. This is also to belittle the king. You cannot spend more than your hunger. The second piece of bread belongs to someone else and a little bit of bread should remain for the guest. If there are no guests, every house will become a grave. A

33:17 sweet wolf said to a shy sheep, come to our house and give us respect. The sheep replied, We would definitely have come if your home was not inside your stomach. I stopped my guest at the door and said, no, don't wipe your feet while coming in, wipe them while going out. The big hearted one is the one who gives me what he needs more than me.

34:10 You are a real giver when you turn your face away while giving so that you cannot see the shame of the receiver. [MUSIC] The difference between the richest and the poorest is a matter of one day's hunger and an hour's thirst. [MUSIC] We often borrow from yesterday. We worry about tomorrow to pay off old debts.

34:57 Angels and devils come to me too. But I drive them away. If an angel comes, I recite the old prayer. He gets bored. If the devil comes, I commit an old crime. off he goes. This jail isn't bad. But I do n't like this wall which is between my room and the other person's room. But I do not say bad things about the keeper or the builder of the prison. The person who

35:46 gives you a snake when you ask for a fish may only have a snake but still he has a big heart. Cunningness sometimes succeeds, but it always results in its own destruction. [MUSIC] The only way you can truly forgive is if you forgive a murderer who never murdered. To the thief who did not steal anything. To the liar who did not lie. [MUSIC] He

36:36 who can put a finger between good and evil can touch the edge of God's garment. How will you find a flower in your hand if your heart is a mountain of fire? It's a strange habit. Sometimes I want to be wronged , cheated so that I can laugh at those who think that I do not know that wrong is being done to me.

37:30 What should I say about the one who pretends to be running away even when he is being chased? Give your clothes to the person who cleans your dirty hands with your clothes. It is possible that he may need it again but not you. Those who deal with money can never become good gardeners. What a sad thing.

38:20 Don't hide your real mistakes with your learned qualities. I want mistakes because that's just like me. How many times have I taken upon myself the blame for crimes that I never committed? Just so that the person in front of me feels comfortable with me. The faces of life are also the faces of a deep secret.

39:06 You can understand others only when you understand yourself. Now tell me who among us is guilty and who is innocent? In truth, only he shows justice who considers half of your mistakes as his own. Only a fool or a genius breaks man-made laws and they are the closest to God.

39:54 You run fast only when you are being chased. I don't have any enemies. Oh God, but if there is one then his power should be equal to mine so that only truth wins. [MUSIC] When you're both dead you'll be best friends with your enemy.

40:42 Maybe a man takes his own life in self-defense. Long ago there was a man who was crucified simply for loving too much, for loving too much. This is strange. I got that three times yesterday. For the first time he was telling the policeman, don't take the prostitute to jail. The second time, he was drinking a different kind of alcohol. The third time he was punching a promoter inside a church.

41:35 If everything about good and evil is true then my life is just one long crime. Being kind is also half justice. The only person who does injustice to me is the one whose brother I have done injustice to. [MUSIC] When you see a man going to jail, think in your heart. Maybe he is escaping from another small prison and when you see someone who is drunk, think maybe he is escaping from something else worse.

42:34 Often I have hated my safety. But if I were strong I wouldn't use such a thing. How foolish is he who tries to cover the hatred in his eyes with a smile on his lips. [MUSIC] Only people who are below me can be jealous or hate me. No one has ever been jealous of me or hated me. I am not above anyone. Only those who are above me

43:21 can praise or belittle me. Nobody ever complimented me. Don't consider me small. I am not inferior to anyone. When you tell me that I don't understand you, that is a compliment beyond my worth. And it is an insult to yourself to say something that you don't deserve. How small I am when life gives me gold and I give you silver. Still, I think I have a big heart.

44:09 When you reach the heart of life. You will find that you are neither above a thief nor below a prophet. It is strange that you pity those who walk slowly but not those who think slowly. And you help the blind but not those who are blind at heart. It is wise that a lame person should not break his stick on the enemy's head. How blind is he who gives you from his pocket

44:58 so that he can take from your heart. Life is a procession. The slower one says it's too fast and gets out. The faster walker says this is too slow and he too is out. If there is something called sin, then some people commit sins following their ancestors and some people commit sins by pressurizing their children. That which is

45:47 truly good is one with all that is called bad. [MUSIC] We're all imprisoned. Some people just have a prison window. Nothing. It's strange that we defend our mistakes more loudly than we defend our truth. If we all tell each other our sins, we will laugh at each other's imitations. Even if

46:34 we all show our good qualities, we will still laugh for the same reason. A man is above the laws made by man. Unless he commits a crime against the customs made by humans. After that he is neither above nor below anyone. Government is an agreement between you and me, and you and I are often both wrong.

47:28 Crime is either another name for need or a part of some disease. The biggest mistake is to see the mistakes of others. [MUSIC] If someone laughs at you, you can feel pity for them. But if you laugh at others, you will never be able to forgive yourself. If someone hurts you, you can forget. But if you hurt him, he will remember it forever. Actually the second one is your softest

48:16 form. Just in a different body you are so careless when you want others to fly with your wings but you can't even give them a single feather. Once a man sat with me. He ate my bread , drank my wine and went away laughing. Then he came again asking for bread and wine. I refused and the angels laughed at me.

49:06 Hatred is a dead thing. Who would want it to be a grave? The person being murdered has respect in that he is not a murderer. The real place of humanity is in his silent heart. Not in his speaking mind. He calls me crazy because I don’t want to trade my days for gold, and I call him crazy because he

49:52 thinks my days have any value. He spreads the gold, silver, ivory, and black wood he has in front of us. And we pour out our hearts and our souls before them. Yet he considers himself the master and us the guests. I would rather be the smallest of men who have dreams and a desire to fulfill them than the greatest of men who have no

50:39 dreams and no desires. The poorest of all is he who turns his dreams into gold and silver. We are all climbing to the peak of our heart’s desire. If another person takes your bag and your money while climbing and becomes fat, then you should pity him. The climb will be difficult for him. The journey will become longer due to the burden.

51:25 And when you are thin and see his fat body then help him. You will become faster. [MUSIC] You cannot understand a person more than you know about him, and how little your knowledge is. I don't want to listen to a winner's sermon to a loser. He who is truly free bears the burden of a slave with

52:10 patience. A thousand years ago my neighbor told me I hate life because it's all misery and yesterday I passed by a cemetery. I saw life dancing on his grave. Nature's conflict is merely restlessness seeking solace. Loneliness is a silent storm that breaks our dead branches. But it takes the living roots

52:59 deeper into the ground. Once I talked to a small river about the ocean. The river thought I was a dreamer. And once I talked to the ocean about a small river. The ocean thought I was a slanderer. How narrow-minded it is that it puts the work of an ant above the praise of a straw and degrades the song of a grasshopper.

53:46 [MUSIC] The greatest good here might be the smallest anywhere else. That which is very deep or very high goes to the depth or height by a straight path. Only that which is very big can move in circles. [MUSIC] If we stop thinking about weights and measures. So we will see the firefly just like we see the sun.

54:39 A scientist without imagination is like a butcher with a blunt knife and old scales. But what do you want? Not everyone is vegetarian. When you sing, the hungry listens with his stomach. Death is as close to the old as to the new born. Life is also like that.

55:25 If you really want to speak clearly then speak with love otherwise keep quiet because a man is dying in our neighborhood. Maybe the final journey of humans is a wedding feast for the angels. She who forgets reality can die and leave behind 7000 truths and sayings in her will which are spent on her funeral and building her grave.

56:21 Actually, we just talk to ourselves. Sometimes so loudly that others can hear it. What is in front of everyone is not visible until someone explains it in simple words. If Milkhe was not inside me then how could I have seen or understood it. If I am not a doctor among doctors, they will not believe that I am a star gazer.

57:14 Maybe pearl means seashell for the sea. Maybe diamonds mean coal for the time being. Fame is the shadow of emotions standing in the light. Root is such a flower that does not accept fame. [MUSIC] There is neither religion nor science beyond beauty. All the great people I have met had something small in them, and that small thing saved them from becoming useless,

58:02 insane, or committing suicide. The one who is actually a great man neither rules over anyone nor accepts anyone's rule. I don't believe that any man is useless. Just because he kills a criminal or a prophet. Tolerance is that love which is suffering from the disease of pride. Even the insects turn around. But it is strange that

58:50 even elephants sometimes give way. Sometimes a fight is the shortest route between two minds. I am the fire. I am the dry bush. One part burns the other part. [MUSIC] We're all trying to get to the top of the sacred mountain. But won't our path become shorter? If we consider the old as a

59:38 map, then it is not a Guru. It is no longer possible to understand when he becomes so arrogant that he doesn't cry. Be so heavy that you can't laugh and be so selfish that you ca n't look after anything else except yourself. [MUSIC] If I fill myself with all of your things, then there will be no room for the things that you don't even know.

1:00:24 I learnt to remain silent from those who talk. Tolerate from those who can't tolerate. Mercy from those who are not kind is still strange. I do not thank these gurus. A biased man speaks like a stone leaf. The silence of the person burning is very loud. When you get to that point where you know everything you need to know. That's where you

1:01:11 start to realize what you need to know. To exaggerate is the truth that one has lost his patience. [MUSIC] If you can see only what the light shows and hear only what the sound says, then you are neither seeing nor hearing; the truth is that being a boy or a girl has

1:01:56 no meaning. You cannot laugh at the same time and do evil to another. [MUSIC] Closest to my heart are the king who has no kingdom and the poor man who does n't know how to ask. A shameful defeat is better than a shameless victory.

1:02:44 Dig anywhere in the earth and you will find treasure. Just have to dig with faith like a farmer. A running fox who was being chased by 20 horses and 20 dogs said they will kill me. But how poor and stupid they are. Imagine if 20 foxes on horses and 20 wolves chased a man and killed him. What fun it would have been. [MUSIC] The mind inside us starts following the laws we make.

1:03:32 But the soul never agrees. I am a traveler. I am a player and every day I find a new place in my soul. A woman said, this was a fair war. My son died in it. I said to life, I want to hear about death. And life spoke a little louder , now you are hearing it.

1:04:25 When you understand all the secrets of life, you want death because death is also a secret of life. Being born and dying are both the greatest acts of bravery. [MUSIC] My friend, you and I will be strangers for life. For each other and for ourselves as well. Until the day comes when you speak and I listen and consider your voice as my own.

1:05:10 And when I stand in front of you and imagine myself standing in front of a mirror. People tell me that if you know yourself, you will know everyone. And I say that I search for everyone and only then I know myself. There are two humans. One stays awake in darkness and the other sleeps in light. A sannyasi is one who leaves the world of fragments to have the whole world without obstructions.

1:05:58 [MUSIC] There's a green field of grass between the scholar and the poet. If a scholar overcomes it, he becomes wise. If the poet crosses this, he becomes a prophet. Yesterday evening I saw philosophers in the market. They were carrying baskets on their heads shouting that knowledge is for sale. Poor philosophers

1:06:44 feed their hearts by selling their heads. A philosopher said to the street sweeper, I feel pity for you. Your work is so hard and dirty. The cleaner said, thank you sir but what is your work ? The philosopher said, I study the human mind, his work and his desires. The cleaner kept sweeping and laughing. I also feel pity for you sir. He who

1:07:30 listens to the truth is no less than he who speaks the truth. No man can draw a line between necessity and luxury. Only angels can do that, and angels are wise and sad. Maybe the angels in the sky are our better ideas. He is the real king who finds his throne in the heart of the fakir.

1:08:27 Generosity is giving more than you can and pride is taking less than you should. In fact, you are not indebted to any one person. You are indebted to all men. [MUSIC] All that has lived before is still with us. None of us can be a bad guest. [MUSIC] He who wants the most, lives the longest.

1:09:19 [MUSIC] People tell me a bird in the hand is better than 10 in the bush. But I say a bird in the bush and a feather are worth more than 10 birds in the hand. The search for that feather is life. That is the real life, not the life which is a wasted life. There are only two things here. Beauty and truth. Beauty is in the hearts of lovers and truth is

1:10:05 in the hands of the farmer. The immense beauty captures me. But the greater beauty than that is that it frees me from myself. [MUSIC] Beauty shines brightest in the heart of one who desires it. Not in the eyes of the one who looks at him. I like the one who shows me his thinking.

1:10:52 I respect anyone who opens up their dreams. But I feel ashamed. I feel a little awkward in front of the person who serves me. Those who were skilled used to take pride in serving the kings. Now he finds respect in serving the poor. The angels know that smarter men earn their bread from the hard work of the dreamer.

1:11:42 [MUSIC] A joke is often a face. If you remove it, you will either get an angry genius or a smart guy. The one who is understanding, considers me to be understanding. He who is a fool considers me a fool. I think both are right. Only those people who have secrets in our hearts can understand the secrets of our hearts. He who

1:12:33 can share your happiness but not your sorrow will lose the key to one of the seven doors of heaven. Yes, there is nirvana, that is taking your sheep to the green grass, putting your children to sleep and writing the last line of your poem. We choose our happiness and our sorrows in advance before we experience them.

1:13:20 Sadness is just a wall between two gardens. When your happiness or sadness increases, the world starts to seem small. Desire is half of life. Carelessness is half of death. The bitterest thing about today's sorrow is the memory of yesterday's happiness.

1:14:12 People tell me you have to choose between happiness in this world and peace in the next. I say I choose both. Happiness of this world and peace of the next. Because I believe in my heart that the greatest poet ever wrote just one poem that is both complete and has an opinion. [MUSIC] Faith is a dew of the heart where caravans of thought can never reach. [MUSIC]

1:15:01 When you get to your peak, all you want is desire. There is only hunger for hunger. Thirst just for great thirst. If you tell your secrets to the wind, do n't blame the wind when it tells the secrets to the trees. The flowers of spring are winter's dreams told at the breakfast table of angels.

1:15:52 A skeleton said to Tube Rose, "See how fast I run." You can't even walk. Tube Rose said, O great fast runner, run fast. The tortoise can tell the rabbit more about the path. It is strange. Those without vertebrae have the hardest shells. [MUSIC] He who talks the most is the least

1:16:39 intelligent. And there is no difference between the one who gives a speech and the one who sells by speaking. Be thankful that you neither have to handle your father's fame nor your uncle's wealth. Most of all, be thankful that no one will have to take care of your fame or your wealth. A juggler only looks good when he misses catching the ball.

1:17:25 [MUSIC] Even jealous people sometimes compliment each other without knowing. You were a dream in your mother's dream for a long time. Then mother got up and gave birth to you. The seed of caste lies in your mother's love. My parents wanted a child and gave birth to me and I wanted parents. I created the night and the

1:18:13 ocean. Some of our children are our cleanliness. Some are just our regrets. When night comes and you too become dark. So lie down quietly and become complete darkness. And when the morning comes and you are still dark, then stand up and tell the day, I am still dark. It's stupid to pretend it's night and day. Both will laugh at you.

1:19:04 If a mountain is hidden in fog, then it is a mountain. Not a mound. An oak tree soaked in rain does not become a weeping willow. See, it's the opposite. What is very deep and what is very high are very close to each other. The one in the middle is even farther away from them. When I placed a clear mirror in front of you. You looked into it and saw your picture.

1:19:50 Then you said I love you. But actually you are loving yourself through me. When you start enjoying loving your neighbor, it is no longer a noble deed. [MUSIC] Love that isn't always new is dying slowly. [MUSIC] You can't be youthful and understand it at the same time. Youth is busy living. There is

1:20:38 no time to understand and the one who wants to understand just gets busy in understanding. There is no time to live. You are looking out your window. You see people passing by. Just look, on one side a nun is coming, on the other side a prostitute; you will think how good one is, how bad the other is, but if you close your eyes and listen you will hear a voice - one seeks me in prayer, the other in sorrow and inside both there is a

1:21:24 place for my soul. Every 100 years Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus of the Christians meet in the garden in the hills of Lebanon. They talk for a long time, and each time Jesus leaves, he says, "Friend, I feel we can never be one." May

1:22:11 God feed those who have more. [MUSIC] A grown man has two hearts. One sheds blood, the other endures everything. If someone tells a lie that does not hurt you or anyone else, then consider that his house of truth was small. His thoughts were big so he had to go out. There is a secret behind every closed door.

1:23:01 Having seven locks. Waiting is the trick of the horses of time. Who knows, your sorrow may be a new window in the east wall of your house. You can forget the person with whom you laughed but you can never forget the person with whom you cried. There is something strangely sacred about salt. It

1:23:50 is in our tears and also in the ocean. Our God's thirst is so great that he will drink everyone, even his drops and tears. You are just a fragment of your true bigger self. A mouth that asks for bread and a blind hand that holds a cup for a thirsty mouth.

1:24:37 If you rise a little above your caste and your country, you will truly become like God. If I were in your place I would n't badmouth the sea on Lo Tight. The ship is good. Our captain is an expert. Only your stomach is upset. If you sit on a cloud you cannot see the borders between countries. Nor can you see the line between the fields. Sorry, you ca

1:25:24 n't sit on a cloud. 700 years ago seven white doves flew from a deep valley. He went towards the top of the snow covered mountain. One of the seven men said, I see a black spot on the wing of the seventh dove. Today, the people of that valley say that seven black pigeons were flown on the snow peak. [MUSIC]

1:26:11 In the fall I gathered up all my sorrows and buried them in my garden. And when April came back to visit the earth, beautiful flowers grew in my garden that were different from all other flowers. My neighbors came to see them and everyone told me that when the next spring comes, it is time to sow seeds, please give us the seeds of these flowers so that we can grow them in our garden.

1:26:56 If I approach people with empty hands and don't get anything, it hurts. But if I reach out with my hands full and don't find anyone to take it, it's disappointing. I want to live forever. Because only there I will find my unwritten poems and unmade pictures. Art is a step from nature to the infinite.

1:27:41 A work of art is a mist that has become an appearance. Even the hands that make a crown of thorns are better than the hands that make nothing. [MUSIC] Our holiest tears never come to the eyes. Every man is a descendant of every king and every slave who ever lived. If Jesus's great-grandfather had known what was hidden inside him, wouldn't he have been surprised at himself

1:28:28 ? Was Judas' mother's love for her son less than Mary's love for Jesus? There are three miracles of our brother Jesus which have not yet been written in the book. First, he was a man like us. Secondly, he was joking and thirdly, he knew he was the winner. Even if you lost.

1:29:20 You were crucified on my heart and the nails that pierced your hands pierced the wall of my heart as well and tomorrow when a stranger passes by this Golgotha he will not know that two people shed blood here. He would think it was just one man's blood. Perhaps you have heard of the sacred mountain. This is the highest mountain in our world. If you reach its top, there is

1:30:07 only one desire left and that is to go down and be with those who are in the deepest valley. That is why it is called a holy mountain. Whatever thoughts I have locked away in my tongue, I must liberate them through my work.

1:31:00 [music]
