Ibn-e-Ataullah Sikandari

Sufi Quotes

The soul sees that it sees Him only through Him, not through itself, and that it loves Him only through Him, not through itself. So He it is who loves Himself; it is not the soul that loves Him. The soul gazes upon Him in every existent by means of His very eye.

Muhiuddin Ibn Arabi

Sufi Quotes

God loves all His creatures, particularly man, who alone in the creation reflects all His attributes. Coming from God, his soul longs to return to Him. The very origin of its love is in His love. He loves them, and they love Him. His love precedes man’s love for Him. If man searches for God, it is because God searches man.

Sufi Quotes
