[ In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful]
"The Sufi is not the one who is always carrying the prayer rug,
nor the one who is wearing patched clothes,
nor the one who keeps certain customs and appearances; but
the Sufi is the one to whom everyone's focus is drawn,
although he is hiding himself."
- Abul Hassan 'Ali al-Kharqani -

"My soul is a mirror that reveals secrets,
I may not speak about them but
cannot deny knowing.
I run away from body and soul
where I belong, I swear, I do not know.
Seeker, if you want to know the secret,
first you must die to your self.
You may see me but do not think I am here
I have vanished into my Beloved
graced by the essence of love.
My arched back is the bow and my words,
the unbending arrows aimed at Truth.
My tears are testimony of my devotion to Shams*
and from those tears white lilies will grow
that will speak the Truth."
  *Shams was Jalal'uddin Rumi's spiritual guide
- Jalal'uddin Muhammad Balkhi al-Rumi -

"My Murshid (spiritual guide) has given Sohbet,
it repeats itself - without me repeating it.
When I plug my ears with my fingers,
without hearing, I hear its melodies.
My eyes are longing for a glimpse of him;
Without seeing, I see his radiant face.
In every heart abides the Murshid, O Bahu,
in countless forms he reveals himself to me."
- Sultan Bahu bin Bazid Muhammad -

"When you are with everyone but Me, you are with no one.
When you are with no one but Me, you are with everyone.
Instead of being so bound up with everyone,
be everyone.
When you become that many,
you are nothing.
Empty."
- Jalal'uddin Muhammad Balkhi al-Rumi -
