Allah made the illusion look real and the real an illusion. He concealed the sea and made the foam visible, the wind invisible, and the dust manifest. you see the dust whirling, but how can the dust rise by itself? you see the foam, but not the ocean. invoke Him with deeds, not words; for deeds are real and will save you in the infinite-life.

Friends are enemies sometimes, and enemies friends.

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.

Be a helpful friend, and you will become a green tree with always new fruit, always deeper journeys into love.

Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.

My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.

Embark on the journey of LOVE. It takes you from yourself to yourself.
