Sufi Quotes

The soul has a previous existence in the angelic world and upon entering the body it is divided into two parts, one remaining in heaven and the other descending into the prison or ‘fort’ of the body. That is why the soul is unhappy in this world; it searches for its other half and must be reunited with its heavenly prototype in order to become perfected and to become one itself again.

Sufi Quotes

The lower soul, the Devil, and the Angels are not realities external to you. You are them. So too Heaven, Earth, and the Divine Throne are not outside you, nor are Paradise, Hell, Life, or Death. All exist within you, as you will realize once you have accomplished the initiatic journey and become pure.

Sufi Quotes

For an Arif it is an ordinary miracle that he ascends beyond the Heaven by taking only one step and reaches the ‘Veil of Divine Glory’. But God alone knows the secret implications of that stage. He cannot say where it leads him ultimately to, and what he perceives in that mysterious state when he returns.

Sufi Quotes

There are some devotees of the Lord who are His beloveds. When they call Him by name, all the birds of air and beasts of the forest stand in silence whilst the angels in heaven shudder and the earth and the heaven are illuminated. Such is the majesty of the utterance of the Name by them that the earth stans quaking.

Sufi Quotes

Human being is an inverted tree. The reason behind it is that the tree on earth has its roots in the ground, feet and branches are in the air toward the heaven. Since the human is the best of creation, his head is his root and his branches and limbs are his feet. This is why he is called an inverted tree.
