Oh, Lord, nourish me not with love, but with the desire for love.

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

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.

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

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

Whoever builds his faith exclusively on demonstrative proofs and deductive arguments, builds a faith on which it is impossible to rely. For he is affected by the negativities of constant objections. Certainty(al-yaqin) does not derive from the evidences of the mind but pours out from the depths of the heart.

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.
