Self-Deprecating Sayings

I was once offered a princess in marriage in this land, but I declined, for I was already married and had a long journey ahead of me.

I was once given a magic carpet in this land, but it did not fly. It was just a very beautiful rug.

I have travelled to many lands and seen many things, but I have never seen a people so fond of bathing as the Indians. They bathe even in the cold of winter!

I went in search of a bad person; I found none as I, seeing myself, found me the worst.

Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours.

I am not in the temple, nor in the mosque, nor in the Kaaba, nor in Kailash. I am not in rites or ceremonies, nor in yoga or renunciation.

I am looking for the one who is looking for me.

You ask for what reason I stay on the green mountain, I smile, but do not answer, my heart is at leisure. Peach blossom is carried far off by flowing water, Apart, I have heaven and earth in the human world.
