The heart.
There is a treasure buried in the heart of the knower. It is love. A single jewel out of it is worth a thousand heavens. The guardian of heaven is an angel named Rizwan, whereas the guardian of the treasure of love is god himself.
Know that thy merit is measured by what thou sleekest.... If thou worship pest to obtain heaven or avoid hell, thou worship pest thy own desires. If thou sleekest or dearest an object, thou art the worshiper of that object. Thy real value depends on what is in thy heart. If thy heart is attached to god, thou art a divine man....
Junnaid, when ill, prayed for his recovery. A voice answered him, dost thou come in between myself and thee? thou wallets every morning to office and comets back at dusk. Where is the difference thy prayers are for increase of wealth, and thy pilgrimages for popular approbation. All thy acts are similarly tainted with name and form. The real end of life is yet veiled from thee.- letter 80.
