Aşkanjali: The Sufi Sermon Quotes

“Beyond sufism, beyond advaita, beyond christian mysticism, beyond humanism, beyond atheism, agnosticism and pantheism, there is a river - a river that's pure - a river that's chaste - a river that’s incorruptible - a river that has the power to breathe life into even the most degraded society - but you can't find it anywhere, for it doesn't exist in the way we usually perceive existence, that is, it doesn't exist as a tangible physical river, like the Hudson or the Thames or the Nile - rather it exists as particles in your brain, and all it needs is the right kick to get formed. And when enough such rivers start flowing from the fountainhead of enough awake brains, the whole world will turn into an ocean of vigor, virtue and love.”

“Some call mom, some amma and some annem, some call dad, some nana and some babam. Some call sis, some akka and some ablam, some call honey, some bangaram and some aşkim. Words may differ but emotions are the same, for language builds barriers only if you let it. See past the words and look into the soul, find you will an ocean full with jewels humanely lit.”
