Real filth is on the inside.
The rest simply washes off.

Most of the problems of the world stem from linguistic mistakes and simple misunderstandings.
Don't ever take words at face value.
When you step into the zone of love, language as we know it becomes obselete.
That which cannot be put into words can only be grasped through silence.

How can love be worthy of its name if one selects solely the pretty things and leaves out the hardships?
It is easy to enjoy the good and dislike the bad.
Anybody can do that.
The real challenge is to love the good and the bad together, not because you need to take the rough with the smooth but because you need to go beyond such descriptions and accept love in its entirety.

He had a remarkable curiosity about everything new and unusual and was a great observer of nature.
Some days I found him in the garden admiring the symmetry of a spiderweb or the dewdrop glistening on a night blooming flower.
Insects, plants, and animals seemed more interesting and inspiring to him than books and manuscripts.
But just when I would start thinking he had no interest in reading, I would find him immersed in an age old book.
Then, once again he would go for weeks on end without reading and studying anything.

Did you know that Shams says the world is a huge cauldron and something big is cooking in it?
We don't know what yet.
Everything we do, feel, or think is an ingredient in that mixture.

Are we adding resentments, animosities, anger, and violence?
Or are we adding love and harmony?

How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves.
If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame welled inside us.

It is easy to love God,
But difficult to love fellow human beings with all their imperfections and defects.

Fret not where the road will take you.
Instead concentrate on the first step.
Thats the hardest part and thats what you are responsible for.
Once you take that step, let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow.
Do not go with the flow.
Be the flow.

Why worry about the aftermath, an imaginary future, when this very moment is the only time we can truly and fully experience both the presence and the absence of God in our lives?
Motivated by neither the fear of punishment in hell nor the desire to be rewarded in heaven, Sufis love God simply because they love Him, pure and easy, untainted and unnegotiable.
Love is the reason. Love is the goal.

The well-respected man who lost his respectability,
And the wise man who is surrounded by ignorants.
