True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower.

When setting out on a journey do not seek advice from someone who never left home

There is no reality but God , says the completely surrendered sheik, who is an ocean for all beings.

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

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

While still in the cage of your being behold the spirit bird before it flies away.

Work on your stony qualities and become resplendent like the ruby. Practice self-denial and accept difficulty. Always see infinite life in letting the self die. Your stoniness will decrease; your ruby nature will grow. The signs of self-existence will leave your body, and ecstasy will take you over.
