If you want this life to stop breaking your heart, stop giving your heart to this life.
Yasmin MogahedThere are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words, and still not understand you... And there are others who will understand - without you even speaking a word.
Yasmin MogahedThey say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
Yasmin MogahedOh external worshiper, know that worship without heart is motions. Oh seeker of knowledge, know that knowledge without purification is a dangerous weapon of the ego. Oh activist, know that work without orientation of heart is fruitless. Oh lover, know that love without God is pain.
