• 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.
  Intellectuals plan their repose;
  lovers are ashamed to rest.
  The lover is always alone.
  even surrounded by people;
  like water and oil, he remains apart.
  The man who goes to the trouble
  of giving advice to a lover
  get nothing. He's mocked by passion.
  Love is like musk. It attracts attention.
  Love is a tree, and the lovers are its shade.

Be that hungry, to see within all beings the Friend.
