Hafez Hayyim

"In the last century, a tourist from the States visited the famous Polish rabbi, Hafez Hayyim. He was astonished to see that the rabbi’s home was only a simple room filled with books.

Don’t burn your body; burn the ego. Love will instantly arise." from the book  "Song Of The Bird"  by  Anthony de Mello ...in truth,  OdiliaCarmen
