God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.

None but God is loved in the exist- ent things. It is He who is manifest within every beloved to the eye of every lover – and there is nothing in the existent realm that is not a lover

When you know yourself, your 'I'ness vanishes and you know that you and Allah are one and the same.

Oh, Lord, nourish me not with love, but with the desire for love.

You are My sight, so have faith. You are My Face, so veil yourself

Your personal nature seeks its paradise.

If you find it complicated to answer someone’s question, do not answer it, for his container is already full and does not have room for the answer

I follow the Way of Love, and where Love's caravan takes its path, there is my religion, my faith.

The ignorant one does not see his ignorance as he basks in its darkness nor does the knowledgeable one see his own knowledge, for he basks in its light

While you are alive, your worldly self is like a collector of benefits from Allah's bounties, which come to you from myriads of hands.

It is He who is revealed in every face, sought in every sign, gazed upon by every eye, worshipped in every object of worship, and pursued in the unseen and the visible. Not a single one of His creatures can fail to find Him in its primordial and original nature.

There was a time, when I blamed my companion if his religion did not resemble mine. Now, however, my heart accepts every form....Love alone is my religion.

Beware of confining yourself to a particular belief and denying all else, for much good would elude you - indeed, the knowledge of reality would elude you. Be in yourself a matter for all forms of belief, for God is too vast and tremendous to be restricted to one belief rather than another.

My heart can take on any form: A meadow for gazelles, A cloister for monks, For the idols, sacred ground, Ka'ba for the circling pilgrim, The tables of the Torah, The scrolls of the Quran. My creed is Love Wherever its caravan turns along the way, That is my belief, My faith.
