“Standing in Front of the Mirror of Eternity

Dressed By True Existence

Looking to Your Own Reality

In the Ocean of Oneness”
― Sheikh Nazim Al-Haqqani

“Your minds have limits but not your hearts, for they are receptacles of endless capacity; but you must open your hearts to this knowledge, as nothing may pass through what is closed. Allah loves the brokenhearted. You are coveting a little water in a clay jug, but when you break it that water rejoins the lake from whence it came. Our egos try to prevent that reunion, and always object to any suggestion of the need to seek reunion. The main purpose of spiritual exercises in any tradition, East or West, is to enable us to overcome the objections put forward by our egos, so that we may pursue our journey to Unity Oceans.”
― Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, In the Mystic Footsteps of Saints

“This is the nature of our relationship with our Lord: He wills and we intend to follow His will. If we are mad enough to oppose His will, that is our freedom of choice. Yes, He permits us, if we so desire, to declare in a boastful and obstinate way: “I’m going to do what I want.” But we are then only like people who are on a ship, walking from bow to stern, thinking that we are advancing in the opposite direction of the ship’s course.”

“That is the method practiced by all the prophets of all revealed religions from the beginning to the end. To help people purify themselves of destructive characteristics was the mission of Moses, of Jesus and also of the seal of prophets Muhammad, who was ordered by his Lord: “Purify them.” They all worked to this end and never despaired of success, as they had certainty that a treasure remained buried in people’s hearts. Look, if you have a precious diamond and then it falls into the toilet, are you going to flush it down with the dirties? Would anyone suggest such a thing? Perhaps some proud or weak stomached people might call for a servant to do it, but no one in his right mind would flush it away. Then when you retrieve that diamond you are going to wash it with soap and water thoroughly, perhaps dip it in rose oil, and then return it to your finger. No one is then thinking that the diamond is dirty. Diamonds do not absorb the qualities of what they fall into – souls are the same.”

“We may summarize the essence of the wisdom our Lord seeks to impart unto us through all His revelations in one word: Unity.”

“to a banquet? I am going with you!” And so he sauntered from”
― Shaykh Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani, In the Mystic Footsteps of Saints

“To lead people to an awakening of the conscience is the only effective way of bringing them to a good end of their lives, to prevent them from wasting their lives in activities that weigh them down and degrade them to the level of animals. If a religion fails to establish man’s contact with his own conscience, no amount of prohibition, no amount of courts and judges will be able to keep a population from evil. Therefore,”

“The door of Paradise is very wide. Don’t put an embargo on Allah’s mercy. Leave it open, it is enough for everyone.”
