Sufi Quotes

For One Moment Sink into the Ocean of God, And Do Not Suppose That One Hair of Your Hand Shall Be Moistened by the Water of the Seven Seas. If The Vision You Behold Is the Face of the God, There Is No Doubt That from This Time Forward You Will See Clearly. When The Foundations of Your Own Existence Are Destroyed, Have No Fear in Your Heart That You Yourself Will Perish.

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.

Sufi Quotes

When that sun shines upon the traveler, the dustbin of this world is changed for him into rose-garden: the kernel is seen beneath the rind. No longer does the lover see any particle of himself, he sees only the Beloved. Where soever he looks, he sees always His Face, in every atom he beholds His dwelling- place. A hundred thousand mysteries are revealed to him from under the veil, as clearly as the sun.
