“The men of God are like fishes in the ocean; they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.”

“If you dwell with unaware people, you will be cold,”

“Love is the path and road of our Prophet”

“Whoever gives reverence receives reverence.”

“Everyday my heart falls deeper in the pain of your sorrow.”

“This is what is signified by the words Anā l-Ḥaqq, "I am God." People imagine that it is a presumptuous claim, whereas it is really a presumptuous claim to say Ana 'l-'abd, "I am the slave of God"; and Anā l-Ḥaqq, "I am God" is an expression of great humility. The man who says Ana 'l-'abd, "I am the servant of God" affirms two existences, his own and God's, but he that says Anā l-Ḥaqq, "I am God" has made himself non-existent and has given himself up and says "I am God", that is, "I am naught, He is all; there is no being but God's." This is the extreme of humility and self-abasement.”
