Sufi

  1. One who has vanity and conceit in his head.
    Imagine not that he will ever hear the truth - Saadi of Shiraz
     
  2. No one can keep us from carrying God
    Wherever we go. - Hafiz
     
  3. When my Beloved appears,
    With what eye do I see Him?
    With His eye, not with mine,
    For none sees Him except Himself. - Ibn Arabi
     
  4. Ten devishes can sleep beneath one blanket.
    Two kings cannot rein in one kingdom - Saadi of Shiraz
     
  5. Bullah has fallen in love with the Lord.
    He has given his life and body as earnest.
    His Lord and Master is Shah Inayat
    who has captivated his heart. - Bulle Shah
     
  6. Green wood can be bent.
    But once it becomes dry,
    it can only be straightened by fire. - Saadi of Shiraz
     
  7. O Beloved, there is no room left in my heart
    For anything but You! - Hafiz

  11. One who gives advice to heedlessness
    is himself in need of an advice. - Saadi of Shiraz
     
  12. It is the rule with drunkards to fall upon each other,
    to quarrel, become violent, and make a scene.
    The lover is even worse than a drunkard.
    I will tell you what love is: to enter a mine of gold.
    And what is that gold?
    The lover is a king above all kings,
    unafraid of death, not at all interested in a golden crown. ~Rumi
