“Speak Hafez! On the world's page trace
Your poems' narrative;
The words your pen writes will have life
When you no longer live.”
― Hafez, The nightingales are drunk

“What is between my soul and you is between us,
What is between my heart and you is between us,
What is between said and understood is between me and you is between us,
What is between is one among two among two is one is between us,
What is between silence is loud and between loud is silent is between us,
What is between is the law of one and one of the law is love between us,
What is between us is love and what is love is in between is between us.”
― Aiyaz Uddin, The Inward Journey

“It seemed that the more challenges life put me through, the less my inner energy flow was affected by outer conditions. What years of willful meditation had not gotten rid of, life’s situations and challenges were rooting out of me. As long as I made getting rid of myself my only goal, every situation was a fruitful experience. If I’d had any other goal, I think the constant pressure would have been overwhelming. I found that I actually got more peaceful inside as I dealt with the ever-increasing magnitude of challenges. Life was molding me each day to become who I needed to be in order to handle tomorrow’s tasks. All I had to do was let go and not resist the process.”

“If you knew the end of your story, nothing on any page—not one of your dramas, could bother you as much.”
― Hafez, A Year with Hafiz: Daily Contemplations
