It is the message, not the man, which is important to the Sufis.

Right time, right place, right people equals success. Wrong time, wrong place, wrong people equals most of the real human history.

The union of the mind and intuition which brings about illumination, and the development which the Sufis seek, is based upon love.

Effort makes some great men famous. Even greater effort enables other great men to remain unknown.

Many things which are called 'secrets' are only things withheld from people until they can understand or effectively experience them.

When people have a hard task to do - one which stretches them - they become less concerned with trivial matters.

Do not try to be humble: learn humility.
