Life is a symphony, and the action of every person in this life is the playing of his particular part in the music.

Those who have a desire to teach while coming to learn should not pose as disciples; they must come as teachers.

Each human personality is like a piece of music, having an individual tone and a rhythm of its own.

The one thing to rely upon is God's favor. Do not build either on your study or on your meditation, although they both help you. But you are dependent on God, not even on your murshid. Seek Him, trust Him. In Him lies your life's purpose, and in Him is hidden the rest of your soul.

Don't be concerned about being disloyal to your pain by being joyous.

The discrimination between good and evil is in man's soul. Every man can judge that for himself, because in every man is the sense of admiration of beauty. Happiness only lies in thinking or doing that which one considers beautiful. Such an act becomes a virtue or goodness.

Repose is the secret of all contemplation and meditation, the secret of getting in tune with that aspect of life which is the essence of all things. When one is not accustomed to take repose, one does not know what is behind one's being.
