The way is difficult
and very intricate. Lalla discarded her
books that told about it, and through meditation
saw the truth that never comes to anyone
from reading words.

Entertain thought and
you will enter the demons’ snares.
Entertain no-thought and you
will escape them.

I, Lalla,
entered the jasmine garden,
where Shiva and Shakti where making love.
I dissolved into them, and what is this to me, now?
I seem to be here, but really I’m walking
in the jasmine garden.

Fame is water
carried in a basket.
Hold the wind in your fist, or
tie up an elephant with one hair.
These are accomplishments
that will make you
famous.

Do not ever fight or argue,
because for God there are no fights
or arguments. For that One everything is love,
everything is in the form of love, compassion,
and truth. May God provide you with
the blessings and grace to live
in that state.
