Each person is oriented toward a quest for his personal invisible guide, or . . . he entrusts himself to the collective, magisterial authority as the intermediary between himself and Revelation.

Your personal nature seeks its paradise.

Beware of confining yourself to a particular belief and denying all else, for much good would elude you - indeed, the knowledge of reality would elude you. Be in yourself a matter for all forms of belief, for God is too vast and tremendous to be restricted to one belief rather than another.

My heart can be pasture for deer and a convent for monks, a temple for idols and a Kaaba for the pilgrims. It is both the tables of the Torah and the Koran. It professes the religion of Love wherever its caravans are heading. Love is my law. Love is my faith.

How can the heart travel to God, when it is chained by its desires?

When you know yourself, your 'I'ness vanishes and you know that you and Allah are one and the same.

While you are alive, your worldly self is like a collector of benefits from Allah's bounties, which come to you from myriads of hands.
