“Absence of understanding does not warrant absence of existence ”

“غذای روح بود باده رحیق الحقکه رنگ او کند از دور رنگ گل را دقبه رنگ زنگ زداید ز جان اندوهگینهمای گردد اگر جرعه‌ای بنوشد بقبه طعم، تلخ چوپند پدر و لیک مفیدبه پیش مبطل، باطل به نزد دانا، حقمی‌از جهالت جهال شد به شرع حرامچو مه که از سبب منکران دین شد شقحلال گشته به فتوای عقل بر داناحرام گشته به احکام شرع بر احمقشراب را چه گنه زان که ابلهی نوشدزبان به هرزه گشاید، دهد ز دست ورقحلال بر عقلا و حرام بر جهالکه می‌محک بود وخیرو شر از او مشتقغلام آن می‌صافم کزو رخ خوبانبه یک دو جرعه برآرد هزار گونه عرقچو بوعلی می‌ناب ار خوری حکیمانبه حق حق که وجودت شود به حق ملحق”

“The signs of the soundness of the servant's love for his Lord are three absence of self-willing pleasure in every event which takes place through divine decree and seeing the perfection of the Beloved in everything and being content with Him in everything through submission to Him in all things.”

“None but God is loved in the existent things. It is He who is manifest within every beloved to the eye of every lover – and there is nothing in the existent realm that is not a lover”

“Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality.”

“The learned man understands the ignorant for he was once ignorant himself. The ignorant man does not understand the learned for he has never been learned himself.”

“Make a ritual ablution before each prayer, beginning every action with "In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful." First wash your hands, intending to pull them away from the affairs of this world. Then wash your mouth, remember and reciting God's name, purifying it in order to utter His Name. Wash your nose wishing to inhale the perfumes of the Divine. Wash your face feeling shame, and intending to wipe from it arrogance and hypocrisy. Wash your forearms trusting God to make you do what is good. Wet the top of your head feeling humility and wash your ears (in preparation) to hear the address of your Lord. Wash from your feet the dirt of the world so that you don't stain the sands of Paradise. Then thank and praise the Lord, and send prayers of peace and blessing upon our Master, who brought the canons of Islam and taught them to us.After you leave the place of your ablution without turning your back to it, perform two cycles of prayer out of hope and thankfulness for His making you clean.Next, stand in the place where you are going to make your prayers as if between the two hands of your Lord. Imagine, without forms and lines, that you are facing the Ka'bah, and that there is no one else on the face of this earth but you. Bring yourself to express your servanthood physically. Choose the verses you are going to recite, understanding their meanings within you. With the verses that start with "Say..." feel that you are talking to your Lord as He wishes you to do: let every word contain praise. Allow time between the sentences, contemplating what our Master, the Messenger of God, gave us, trying to keep it in your heart. Believing that your destiny is written on your forehead, place it humbly on the floor in prostration. When you finish and give salutations to your right and to your left, keep your eyes on yourself and your connection with your Lord, for you are saluting the One under whose power you are and who is within you...”
