    I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went as far as Qandhar but God I found not.
    With set purpose I fared to the summit of Mount Caucasus and found there only 'anqa's habitation.
    Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young; God was not there even.

    I fared then to the scene of the Prophet's experience of a great divine manifestation only a "two bow-lengths' distance from him" but God was not there even in that exalted court.
    Finally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him; He was nowhere else.”
