Hakim Sanai Quotes

* Stop weaving a net about yourself:

   burst like a lion from the cage.

     
Worship him as if you could see him with your    physical eyes;
though you don't see him,
 he sees you.
     
    * We tried reasoning
      our way to Him:
      it did not work;
      but the moment we gave up,
      no obstacle remained.
     
    * In His presence, silence is the gift of tongues.
     
    * At his door, what is the difference
      between Moslem and Christian,
      virtuous and guilty?
      At his door all are seekers
      and he the sought.
     
    * The dumb find tongues,
      when the scent of life reaches them
      from his soul
     
    * You have broken faith,
      yet still he keeps his faith with you:
      he is truer to you
      than you are to yourself,
     
    * Apply yourself, hand and foot,
      to the search;
      but when you reach the sea,
      stop talking of the stream.
     
    * Silence is praise - have done with speech;
      your chatter will only bring you harm and sorrow
     
    * Unself yourself...
      until you see your self as a speck of dust
      you cannot possibly reach that place;
      self could never breathe that air,
      so wend your way there without self.

# When the eye is pure
it sees purity.

# The road your self must journey on
lies in polishing the heart.

# Bring all of yourself to his door:
bring only a part
and you've brought nothing at all.

# Break free from your chains you have forged about yourself.

# From Him forgiveness comes so fast,
it reaches us before repentance
has even taken shape on our lips.

# He treasures you more
than you do yourself.
Rise, have done with fairy tales;
leave your base passions,
and come to me.

# the way is long only
because you delay to start on it;
one single step
would bring you to him

# You have to realize
that it is his guidance
that keeps you on the path
and not your own strength

# My friend, everything existing
exists through him;
your own existence is a mere pretense.
No more nonsense! Lose yourself,
and the hell of your heart becomes a heaven.
