The Spiritual Path

“As for taking pride in the Tariqah, it is born of foolishness and ignorance of what the tariqah actually is. The spiritual path is built on humility and lowliness, until Allah brings them glory from Himself, and on poverty until He brings them wealth, without any self-regard or pride.”

—— Ahmad Zarruq, Muhtasib al-Ulama wal-Awliya (The Monitor of the Scholars and Saints). Courtesy of Yahya `Abd al

Quotes by Irving Karchmar (?)

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
― Irving Karchmar, Lessons in Love: Essays and Spiritual Exercises for Modern Life

Irving’s Quotes

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
