Sufi Quotes

Shams praises Rumi. But if Rumi illumines the common people, that is only because he reflects the light which Shams shines upon him: “Well, how could I offend you? I am fearful to kiss your feet, feast my lashes scratch them. Union with you is mast Precious. Alas that life will not last. I wish I had a world full of gold to bestow upon union with you.”

Sufi Quotes

The reason for creation was God's desire for Self-manifestation from which not He, who is Self-sufficient and needs nothing, but the creation would gain. In Deewaan, Rumi says: God said to him :O temporal man, I was a hidden treasure, I thought that, that treasure of kindness and munificence should become manifest.

Sufi Quotes
