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

My heart has become capable of every form: It is a pasture for gazelles And a monastery for Christian monks, And the pilgrim's Ka'ba, And the tablets of the Torah, And the book of the Koran. I follow the religion of Love: Whatever way love's camel takes, That is my religion, my faith.

None but God is loved in the exist- ent things. It is He who is manifest within every beloved to the eye of every lover – and there is nothing in the existent realm that is not a lover

You are My sight, so have faith. You are My Face, so veil yourself

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.

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.

I believe in the religion of Love, whatever direction its caravans may take, for Love is my religion and my faith.
