“Rahmet ve ruh aynı şey.”
Source: Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat
“Rahmet ve Ruh (Şiir)
Bu yalan dünyada, tek gerçek,
sadece temiz bir kalptir.
Orman gibi evrende bir iyi insan
ilahiliğin ilk kıvılcımıdır.
Hava duası, hava gitarı, hepsi aynı,
kalk, ve kendin dua ol dünyaya.
Tüm kainat bizim mahalle -
niyet nerde, umut orda.
Rahmet ve ruh aynı şey,
cennet falan saçmalık yeter!
İnsan su gelince değil,
ruh gelince doğar.”

Everything had slowed down to that moment. It was as if everything had stopped and all that existed were two people bound to each other by a string of feelings, two young people finally realising what life really meant and what they were supposed to do – love as one!”

Sometimes the remains persist as actual ruins.”
