Sa'd Ud Din Mahmud Shabistari

“ThinkingThinking is passing from the false to the trueand seeing the Absolute Whole in the part.When the idea enters the mind,it is a reminiscence of a former state,and passes on to interpretation.. . . He who sees by illumination discerns God first in everything.But he who sees by logic only,and seeks to prove the necessary,is bewildered and sometimes travelsbackward in a circle, or is imprisonedin a chain of proofs.Fool! He seeks the dazzling sunby the dim light of a candle in the desert.”
