If I love myself - I love you

1. When your chest is free of your limiting ego,
   Then you will see the ageless Beloved.
   You can not see yourself without a mirror;
   Look at the Beloved, He is the brightest mirror.
    
2. When you do things from your soul, you feel a river
   moving in you, a joy.
    
3. Any soul that drank the nectar of your passion was lifted.
   From that water of life he is in a state of elation.
   Death came, smelled me, and sensed your fragrance instead.
   From then on, death lost all hope of me.
    
4. If I love myself
   I love you.
   If I love you
   I love myself.
    
5. In love, aside from sipping the wine of timelessness,
   nothing else exists.
   There is no reason for living except for giving one's life.
   I said, "First I know you, then I die."
   He said, "For the one who knows Me, there is no dying."
    
6. There is a way between voice and presence
   where information flows.
   In disciplined silence it opens.
   With wandering talk it closes.
    
7. There is a candle in the heart of man, waiting to be kindled.
   In separation from the Friend, there is a cut waiting to be stitched.
   O, you who are ignorant of endurance and the burning fire of love,
   Love comes of its own free will, it can't be learned in any school.
    
8. They have left behind
   the world of deceitful games.
   They are the privileged lovers
   who create a new world
   with their eyes of fiery passion.
    
9. The intellectual is always showing off,
   the lover is always getting lost.
   The intellectual runs away.
   afraid of drowning;
   the whole business of love
   is to drown in the sea.
