Sufi Quotes

GRATITUDE

WE ARE BY NATURE ASTONISHINGLY HEEDLESS AND INCAPABLE OF GRATITUDE. WE CAN SPEND A WHOLE LIFETIME ENJOYING VARIOUS BENEFITS AND NOT APPECIATE THEIR VALUE UNTIL WE ARE DEPRIVED OF THEM. HOW MANY LOVERS BOLDLY CONTEMPLATE SEPARATION, FONDLY IMAGINING THAT THEY HAD ENOUGH OF THE BELOVED. AND YET AS SOON AS THEY ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE SEPARATION, THEY BURN UP WITH LONGING.

Sufi Quotes

FAITH

NO ONE EVER SUFFERED ON THE PATH OF FAITH WHO DID NOT FIND THE REMEDY FOR HIS OR HER PAIN.

Sufi Quotes

LOVE

THE HEART THAT IS FREE OF LOVE SICKNESS ISN'T A HEART AT ALL. THE BODY DEPRIVED OF THE PANGS OF LOVE IS NOTHING BUT CLAY AND WATER.

Jami

Sufi Quotes

LOVE

SIGHT IS NOT THE ONLY WAY THAT LOVE ENTERS THE HEART; IT OFTEN HAPPENS THAT LOVE IS BORN OF THE SPOKEN WORD. THE ECHO OF BEAUTY ENTERING THE EAR MAY ROB HEART AND SOUL OF PEACE AND REASON.

Jami

HOW LUCKY THE HEART WHERE LOVE MAKES ITS HOME, FOR LOVE MAKES IT FORGET THE CARES OF THE WORLD! LOVE IS LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTENING WHICH SETS FIRE TO PATIENCE AND REASON AND REDUCES THEM TO NOTHING.THE LOVE BECOMES CARELESSS OF HIS OWN SAFETY.MOUNTAINS BLAMES WEIGH FOR HIM THAN A STRAW, CRITICISM ONLY INCREASES HIS PASSION .

Jami

Sufi Quotes

LOVE

IF LOVE MANIFESTS ITSELF WITHIN YOU, IT HAS ITS ORIGINS IN BEAUTY. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A MIRROR IN WHICH BEAUTY IS REFLECTED. BECAUSE BEAUTY AND ITS REFLECTION ARE BOTH FROM THAT ONE SOURCE, IT IS BOTH TREASURE AND TREASURE HOUSE.
