“Sufi Sonett
För din uppstigning blev jag en älskare,
För dina rättigheter blev jag en revolution.
Fråga mig inte vem jag är,
Titta i mina ögon så ser du din reflektion.
Vår värld är en ny värld,
Själen i denna värld är samvete.
Utan samvete är vi alla djur,
Gå framåt, o samvetsgrann med tapperhet.
Det finns ingen annan religion än kärlek,
Mänskligheten är den största nationaliteten.
Människolivet är en berättelse om vänlighet,
Annars, vad är poängen!
Vi är hjältar när vi är tillsammans.
Vi bor tillsammans och vi dör tillsammans.”

“Sufi Şiir
Senin ilerlemen için ben aşık oldum,
Senin haklarınız için ben savaşçı oldum.
Sorma canım benim ben kimim,
Gözlerime bak, ben senin yansıman oldum.
Bizim dünyamız yeni bir dünya,
Bu dünyanın ruhu vicdandır.
Vicdan olmadan hepimiz canavariz,
Vicdanla yürü cesur insanlar.
Aşktan başka din yoktur,
İnsanlıktan başka milliyet yok.
İnsan hayati bir merhamet hikayesidir,
Yoksa, bizim hayatımız hayat yok.
Birlikte olduğumuzda biz kahramanlarız,
Birlikte yaşayacağız ve birlikte öleceğiz.”

inner work, until no imperfection remains. Then the mirror of the heart can reflect the true light of

“Sufis have always been those that have tried to purify the ethics of Islam and society. And they don't have their hands cut off from the external action at all. For example, the bazaar in which the Sufis were very strong always dominated economic life in Islamic world. They could give a much more sane and Islamic form of activity when the economic life of Islam moved out of the bazaar to new parts of Islamic cities with modernized Muslims, who took it in another light and it became very, very anti Islamic, and much against many of the most profound practices of Islamic societies.”
“Sufis Know the Secrets of Love
"Longing takes us back to God, takes the lover back into the arms of the Beloved. This is the ancient path of the mystic, of those who are destined to make the journey to the further shores of love. Why we are called to this quest is always a mystery, for the ways of the heart cannot be understood by the mind. Love always draws us back to love, and longing is the fire that purifies us. Sufis know the secrets of love, of the way love takes and transforms us. They are the people of love who have kept alive the mysteries of divine loving, of what is hidden within the depths of the human being.”

“Sufis teach that we first must battle and destroy the evil within ourselves by shining upon it the good within, and then we learn to battle the evil in others by helping their higher selves gain control of their lower selves.”
“Sufism and yoga are one and the same thing. They are just words, in wisdom there is no difference. All the teachings are absolutely the same. They are only different paths to the One.”
“Sufism has always had the function of purifying Islamic ethics and that fasting and tazkiya is like lighting a lamp.”
“Sufism is known by means of itself.”

“Sufism is monopolizing the heart with the creator's love.”
“Sufism is the reconciliation of all opposites: the outer and the inner, the material and the spiritual, the finite and the infinite, the here and the hereafter, freedom and servanthood, the human and the divine. Enlightenment in this tradition does not prevent us from functioning in a practical and humble way in life, does not entitle us to special treatment, does not exclude us from the inevitable joys and griefs of life. The Sufi’s union with God does not cancel servanthood. What I found through Sufism far exceeded my hopes. As an example, one poet said to me: “All of my reading, study, and creative writing could not have prepared me for the poetry of Rumi.” And yet all Rumi’s poetry is just the wave on the surface of the ocean of Sufi spirituality. Perhaps it is consistent with the idea of Divine generosity that it should exceed in actuality the gift we had foreseen in our imagination. The Source is not only infinitely generous, it is infinitely creative, and its gifts surpass human imagination.”

“Sufletul care a cunoscut pe Domnul învaţă printr-o îndelungată experienţă că, dacă trăieşte după poruncile Lui, atunci, chiar dacă nu mult, va simţi în el harul şi va avea îndrăzneală în rugăciune; dar dacă păcătuieşte printr-un singur gând şi nu se pocăieşte, harul se scârbeşte, şi atunci sufletul tânjeşte şi plânge înaintea lui Dumnezeu.
Astfel, întreaga viaţă sufletul şi-o petrece în lupta cu gândurile. Tu însă nu slăbi în luptă, pentru că Domnul iubeşte pe cel ce luptă cu bărbăţie.”

“Sufrir. Aquella chica no sabía lo que era sufrir. Ninguna Blackburn sabía lo que era sufrir por algo. Vivían en su torre de marfil, protegidas del mundo e infligiendo dolor cuando les apetecía.”

“Sufrir es una cosa; otra es convivir con las imágenes fotográficas del sufrimiento, que no necesariamente fortifican la conciencia ni la capacidad de compasión. También pueden corromperlas. Una vez que se han visto tales imágenes, se recorre la pendiente de ver más. Y más. Las imágenes pasman. Las imágenes anestesian.”

“Sugar and Order
I got one yellow,
and one brown—
though I think the brown was meant to be purple.
Seven green.
Three red.
Four orange.
I line them up,
neat and bright—
a little world of sugar and order.
I’ll start with the yellow,
and the brown-purple too.
They don’t really fit the pattern, you know?
Just cleaning up the set.
Four greens next,
and one orange—
just enough to balance the rest.
Now I’ve got threes.
Three greens.
Three reds.
Three oranges.
Perfect.
Even.
Neat.
No yellow.
No brown.
The colors look good together now.
Don’t you think?
It’s easier on the eyes.
Simpler.
Cleaner.
Just organizing.
Just tidying up the mess.
But the bowl feels lighter,
somehow smaller,
and the sweetness tastes a little—off.
I only wanted balance,
but somehow
everything’s the same color now.
And it doesn’t taste like candy anymore.”

“Sugar and the man in the Hawaiian shirt stepped forward and pulled him up.
But as they stepped away again, the backs of their hands brushed- it was just the lightest touch, for the briefest of moments, almost nothing more than hair upon hair, yet Sugar felt it like a blowtorch on creme brûlée.”

“Sugar cane island,

Land of my birth”
“Sugar crystallizes something in our American Soul. It is emblematic of all Industrial Processes. And of the idea of becoming white. White Being equated with pure and ‘true’ it takes a lot of energy to turn brown things into white things. A lot of pressure.”
“Sugar does make people happy, but then you fall off the edge after a few minutes, so I've really pretty much cut it out of my diet. Except for cupcakes. I like those.”

“Sugar had grown up in Charleston, South Carolina: possibly the most luscious of the world's garden cities. Behind every wrought-iron gate or exposed-brick wall in the picturesque peninsula blooming between the Ashley and Cooper Rivers lay a sweet-scented treasure trove of camellias, roses, gardenias, magnolias, tea olives, azaleas and jasmine, everywhere, jasmine.
With its lush greenery, opulent vines, sumptuous hedgerows and candy-colored window boxes, it was no wonder the city's native sons and daughters believed it to be the most beautiful place on earth.
In her first years of exile Sugar had tried to cultivate a reminder of the luxuriant garden delights she had left behind, struggling in sometimes hostile elements to train reluctant honeysuckle and sulky sweet potato vines or nurture creeping jenny and autumn stonecrop.”

“Sugar. He'd taken to calling her that. She wasn't sure if she should be flattered or irritated. She certainly didn't feel like sugar, not today. Today, she felt far too...unmoored to be something as fine and delicate as sugar.
Syrup, maybe. All messy and sticky and slow moving.
Yeah, she could probably go along with being called syrup.”

“SUGAR IS A STRONGHOLD for many people. Does it hold you back from the good life that God has planned for you? Perhaps over time your sweet tooth has turned into a full-fledged addiction, dictating your days, driving you from one sugary fix to the next. Unfortunately, no sugar fix can fix you. In fact, when you give sugar that job, you’ll end up more broken than before because sugar weakens our physical bodies and clouds our minds.”
