We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. Swami Vivekananda

Don’t search for Heaven and Hell in the future. Both are now present. Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in Heaven. Whenever we fight, hate, we are in Hell. Shams Tabrizi

The past is an interpretation. The future is an illusion. The world does not more through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. […]

The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself. St . Augustine

Worry is itself an illness, since worry is an accusation against Divine Wisdom, a criticism of Divine Mercy. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others. Don’t forget that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God. Shams Tabriz

My servant never ceases to draw near to Me through supererogatory works until I love him. Then, when I love him, I am his hearing through which he hears, his sight through which he sees, his hand through which he grasps, and his foot through which he walks. Prophet Muhammad […]

Instead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think ‘My life will be upside down’ don’t worry. How do you know down is not better than upside? Shams Tabrizi

The best of your moments is that in which you are aware of your distress and thrown back upon your own helplessness…. it may be that in distress you will find benefits that you have been unable to find either in prayer or fasting. Shaykh Ibn Ata’illah Al Iskandari

Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full. Shams Tabrizi

Sufism is about taste. Without tasting the sweetness of dhikr and knowledge, it is very difficult to continue on the Path. Sayyid Omar Abdullah
