Muhammad says, 'Love of one's country is a part of the faith.' But don't take that literally! Your real 'country' is where you're heading, not where you are. Don't misread that hadith.

Don't run away from grief, o’ soul/ Look for the remedy inside the pain/ because the rose came from the thorn/ and the ruby came from a stone.

If you wish for light, Be ready to receive light.

Very high, very grand, and very wise is the ocean of God, the Water of Life. You went after the form and were lead astray. How can you see it? You abandoned the truth. Sometimes it is named "tree," sometimes "sun," sometimes "ocean," sometimes "cloud," one thing from which scores of discoveries arise, its slightest definition an everlasting life.

This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it.

God calls himself "Baseer" [Observant], so that the knowledge that He is watching you may keep you from sinning.

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.
