Why would you refuse to give

They swim the huge fluid freedom.”
Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
“In God, there is no sorrow or suffering or affliction. If you want to be free of all affliction and suffering, hold fast to God, and turn wholly to Him, and to no one else. Indeed, all your suffering comes from this: that you do not turn towards God.”
Imam Al Ghazali

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
“Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul, which sometimes helps me and sometimes opposes me.”
