The true seeker hunts naught but the object of his quest, and the lover has no desire save union with his Beloved.

Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory.

I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee. I testify, at this moment, to my powerlessness and to Thy might, to my poverty and to Thy wealth. There is none other God but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
