There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life

1. You personify God's message.
   You reflect the King's face.
   There is nothing in the universe that you are not
   Everything you want, look for it within yourself--
   you are that.
    
2. Without cause God gave us Being;
   without cause, give it back again.
    
3. With passion pray.
   With passion work.
   With passion make love.
   With passion eat and drink and dance and play.
   Why look like a dead fish
   in this ocean of God?
    
4. Until you've found pain, you won't reach the cure
   Until you've given up life, you won't unite with
   the supreme soul
   Until you've found fire inside yourself, like the Friend,
   You won't reach the spring of life, like Khezr.
    
5. They are the chosen ones
   who have surrendered.
   Once they were particles of light
   now they are the radiant sun.
    
6. The minute I heard my first love story,
   I started looking for you, not knowing
   how blind that was.
   Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
   they're in each other all along.
    
7. There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
   There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.
   O traveler, if you are in search of That
   Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.
    
8. I see so deeply within myself.
   Not needing my eyes, I can see everything clearly.
   Why would I want to bother my eyes again
   Now that I see the world through His eyes?
    
9. Although I may try to describe Love
   when I experience it I am speechless.
   Although I may try to write about Love
   I am rendered helpless;
   my pen breaks and the paper slips away
   at the ineffable place
   where Lover, Loving and Loved are one.
   Every moment is made glorious
   by the light of Love.
