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

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.

The peace for which every soul strives and which is the true nature of God and the utmost goal of a man is but the outcome of harmony.

As one can see when the eyes are open, so one can understand when the heart is open.

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.

Have you known what it is to give your meal to another and to go without yourself? It gives a happiness that no dinner eaten by yourself can give. Have you known what it is to give your coat to another and do without it yourself? It gives a joy that the satisfaction of your own wants cannot give you.

If someone strikes my heart, it does not break, but it bursts, and the flame coming out of it becomes a torch on my path.
