“All these bad experiences that we go through, they don't just disappear. We carry them our whole life trying to forget, escaping in habits, addictions, hate, toxic relationships. But what we don't know is that by doing so we let them stay alive. We water them like withered flowers and we hang onto them to justify our mistakes and failures.”

“Farsi Couplet:
Mun tu shudam tu mun shudi,mun tun shudam tu jaan shudi
Taakas na guyad baad azeen, mun deegaram tu deegari
English Translation:
I have become you, and you me,
I am the body, you soul;
So that no one can say hereafter,
That you are someone, and me someone else.”

“In the heart there is a dispersion
that is not collected except by
turning towards Allah.
And there is a loneliness that is not
removed except by the company of Allah
in seclusion.
And there is a sadness that is not
pushed away except by the happiness of
knowing Him and dealing with Him
truthfully.
And there is an anxiety that is not
stilled except by gathering yourself
to Him and fleeing from Him to Him.
And there are fires of remorse, that
are not extinguished except by
contentment with His commands,
prohibitions and decrees, and
embracing patience regarding that
until the time of meeting Him.
And there is severe desire, that will
not cease until He alone becomes the
desired.
And there is an emptiness, that is not
filled except by His love and
continuous remembrance of Him and
sincerity to Him, and if one were to
be given the entire world that
emptiness would not be filled ever!”
