“The flame of the mystic‘s heart is love of God and compassion for all of God‘s creatures […] the gnostic‘s love for humanity engulfs the entire world. Distinctions are of no account in this love. The gnostic invokes God‘s mercy equally on sinners and saints, men and women, and people of all races, nations and religions. (p. 199)”

“To attain the reality of unity, the believer must undergo deeper and deeper self-forgetting in the remembrance of God. There is no god but God now comes to mean, "there is no existing thing but God." Someone asked Sa'd ad-din Hamuya, "What is God?" He answered, "That which exists is God." The questioner asked, "What is the world?" He answered, "Nothing exists but God." (p. 225)”

“We can't tell you the origin of the experience. But we can tell you the brain does appear to be built to have these [mystical] experiences. There are examples of people reaching similar states, spontaneously. But for the most part, it takes work. Meditation and these powerful prayer experiences require dedication and practice. But people have figured out how to do this, and the question is, 'What is the source of that experience?' The answer is, 'We don't know.' Science doesn't really have an answer for you.”

“The greatest of the lovers, however, are those who constantly seek to augment their knowledge, in keeping with the Quranic command: „Say: „My Lord, increase me in knowledge“ (20:114). They increase their knowledge by never denying God‘s presence in any phenomenon and by never affirming his presence in anything whatsoever. Seeing with both eyes, they constantly recognize that all is „He/not He.“ They never let themselves fall into stasis and fixity, but flow with the constant unfolding of the universe. They recognize themselves and all things for what they are. (p.34)”
