“In „The Secret of Secrets“, al-Jilani refers to the Hadith Qudsi, where God speaks through His Messenger, peace be upon him: „Man is My secret and I am his secret. The inner knowledge of the spiritual essence (ilm al-batin) is a secret of My secrets. Only I put this into the heart of My good servant, and none may know his state other than Me.“ (p. 192)” IslamSufismSufi WisdomHadith QudsiAbd Al Qadir Al JilaniThe Secret Of Secrets Book:Hearts Turn: Sinners, Seekers, Saints and the Road to Redemption Source: Hearts Turn: Sinners, Seekers, Saints and the Road to Redemption
“In my experience an insane person (and I have met a few) is someone who believes that the entire universe and everything in it is conspiring against him. The sane person, on the other hand, is the one who believes that the entire universe and everything in it is conspiring for him. I, fortunately, am a denizen of the latter category.
