Sufi Gnosis Quotes

“When Ibn al-Arabi and his followers speak of „Being,“ they do not mean the Being of God as opposed to that of the creatures, or vice versa. They mean Being as such, in all the forms it may take, without exception. For them the „science of Being“ is the science of all sciences, since nothing but Being is. If someone can understand this science, he has understood the principle of everything. To grasp the nature of Being Itself is to grasp the nature of all that exists. „Love“ is one of the primary attributes of Being, which means that whatever exists must participate in it, just as it must participate in Being. To understand the nature of Love and its myriad self-manifestations is to grasp the nature of Being Itself, for the two are in fact one. (p. 27)”

“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)”
