Haris Muhasbi

Sufi Quotes

Shall I speak without any hypocrisy or not? This Moulana is like moonlight. The eye cannot take in the sun of my being, but it can take in the moon. The extreme brightness of the rays make the eye unable to tolerate the sun. The moon cannot reach the sun, unless the sun reaches out to the moon. The sun faces Moulana because Moulana faces the sun.
