sufi

When a belief becomes more than an instrument, you are lost. You remain lost until you learn what 'belief' is really for.

The Sufis,' runs the saying, 'understand with their hearts what the most learned scholars cannot understand with their minds

It is axiomatic that the attempt to become a Sufi through a desire for personal power as normally understood will not succeed.

Study the assumptions behind your actions. Then study the assumptions behind your assumptions.

The institution of teachership is there for this reason, that the learner must learn how to learn.

Show a man too many camels' bones,or show them to him too often,and he will not be able to recognize a camel when he comes across a live one.

Learning how to learn involves examining assumptions. Mulla Nasrudin tales very often fulfil this funcition.

But what else are secrets for if not discovery? That is their nature. Only time stands between a mystery and its rightful master.

To Be One With The One Is Not For Everyone

You must be more alive than life.You must see darkness danceand hear silence sing.You must be more awake than lightfor we aren__ born sleepingand we shouldn__ live sleeping.Only then will death__ slumberbecome sweet.

Put down your glass, it is time to dance. If you want to get drunk all you need is to drink love. Put down your pipe and do away with these childish toys. If you want to get high all you need is to breathe love. Now, can I have this dance?

You__l only know the answers once you love.

I don__ mind losing in this game of love, if it means You will be the winner.

May we always see life through love-coloured glasses.

I will speak of love until you go mad and join me in my mad worship of love.

Polish the mirror of your heart until it reflects every person's light.

World seems like a void of silence every time footsteps are deprived of dancing shoes.

Music does not need language of words for it has movements of dance to do its translation.
