Quote by Muhammed Isa Waley

“To contemplate is, as we have seen, to gain knowledge; and although the extent of knowledge attainable by ordinary human beings is very limited, and even the most knowledgeable of Prophets or Angels know almost nothing in comparison with the Divine Knowledge, it is incumbent on every human being to seek knowledge in this and other ways; and the merits of contemplation is the point where this discussion began”

“A tradition (hadith of Prophet Muhammad [May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]) says: “[O Human Being!] Spend your life the way you like but [keep in mind that one day] you will die, and love whoever you like but [keep in mind that one day you] will get separated from him/her, and perform deeds the way you like but [keep in mind that one day] you will surely get their just compensation [good or bad depending on your deeds].”

“Divinity in Its Transcendence, the Absolute before any Self-manifestation, cannot be contemplated, for contemplation implies a subject and an object, and the Absolute is beyond all duality, all "place" and all knowing. It is the Mystery, the utterly inscrutable secret in the deepest part of Being, veiled behind all the inmost veils, yet somehow luring and teasing the lover. And the lover waits outside the door, ready to surrender his life at a sign.”
