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.
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.
Your personal nature seeks its paradise.
Oh, Lord, nourish me not with love, but with the desire for love.
