Famous Mehmet Murat Ildan Quotes

“You thought a lot about heaven and hell, my friend, you exhausted yourself for nothing, you made silly definitions, you carried heaven and hell to an after-death dimension, to a place that does not exist! It's all here! Wherever there is a peaceful corner of the world, there is heaven, wherever there is chaos in the world, there is hell, it's that simple!”

“You are in hell and there is a bridge in front of you, the other side is heaven! Do you know what the name of that bridge is, my dear friend? The name of that bridge is wisdom! Only when you use your wisdom will you move from the hell zone to the heaven zone! And what is wisdom? In its simplest definition, it is to understand life and universe in depth by using the mind and emotions at the highest level!”

“If you have found the secret of immortality, don't take a megaphone and announce it to the whole world! Give this secret only to those who deserve it! And who are they? They are people who believe in this world, not in an imaginary paradise or in divine powers! Only those who believe in this very existence, those who do not have a world outside of existence deserve immortality! And those left behind must go to their imaginary paradise and live there happily with their gods!”

“You can pull people to your own winter and freeze them up or you can take your sun to people’s own winter and warm them up! It is up to you to bring hell or heaven to people’s life!”

“The heaven of a grasshopper is the wheat field; the heaven of man is the same place, the very earth itself where we get our food and build our happiness!”

“The purpose of art is to create heavens to balance the world because there are so many hells in the world, there are wars, tortures and oppressions, there is unhappiness etc.”

“Every beautiful place is your temple, you can always visit them; every useful book is your holy book, you can always read them; every place you find love is your heaven, you can always go there! Don’t get stuck in the temples, in the so-called holy books and heavens of the religions because life is much richer, much superior and much intelligent than all the religions because life is alive, it is dynamic and it continuously develops itself!”

“What do you need in the New Year? You need a dream; your dream needs an action; and your action needs right thinking! Without right thinking, you can have only unrealised dreams!”

“You slept and went to the dream world, it was wonderful and then you woke up and found yourself in the nightmare world! If you ask which world to stay in, of course it is the nightmare world! Why? Because the dream world is fake and you always need to be in a real world because the real can be changed and fixed; you should prefer a real hell to a virtual heaven because only when you live the real you are really living!”

“When you get too involved in the world of ideas, it's as if the truth thinks you've forgotten it and starts to remind you of itself: Suddenly it rains or a fly lands on you, the sky rumbles, the door creaks, a strong smell comes from the garden, everything tells you to get out of the virtual world and return to reality!”

“Let those who are awake awaken the dormant in every matter which desperately needs the liberating light of the truth or else the dormant will forever sleep!”

“If you sleep on the train, you will miss your station; if you sleep at the station, you will miss your train! You can control your fate only when you are awake!”

“The reason darkness overcomes light is not the power of darkness, but the weakness of light! Darkness is not an entity in itself, it is not a thing, it is simply the absence of light, a void, and because it is something that does not exist, it cannot even travel like light! Darkness has neither its own energy nor its own mass, so wherever you see darkness, blame the light, blame its inadequacy!”
