Sufi Quotes

“Birds never know (Sonnet) Birds never know if the sun will rise, yet they sing everyday right before dawn. And sure enough the night collapses, into the arms of the rising sun. Kiss the world like morning sun, Sing to the sky like waking birds. Fret not the fears of wild insecurity, You do your task with dutybound heart. Touch the soul like summer breeze, Hug the soil like monsoon rain. Life is calling, can't you hear! Universe awaits your humane reign.”

“It seems to me that apart from the aptness of the Malay language in the construction of four-lined verses with a AAAA pattern of rhyme, the influence of Ibnu’l-‘Arabi’s and ‘Iraqi’s four-line shi’r and Jami’s ruba’i, the concept of the bayt and the shi’r in Arabic and Persian prosody, the creative genius of the poet, Hamzah’s choice of the four-line shi’r composed of a single bayt could well have been influenced also by the symbolism in the Sufi doctrines.”

“The analogy of the fourfold Law Way, Truth and Gnosis in which they are compared to a house may be said to be a static one, and this is because what is aimed at here is comprehension of the concept of the absolute unity of the Way to the Truth; but the spiritual journey itself is a dynamic concept, and hence sometimes the fourfold unity of the Way to the Truth is also to a ship (kapal) whose keel is like the Law, whose planks are like the Way, whose content or merchandise is like the Truth and whose gain is like the spiritual gain of Gnosis.”

“Saints seem to be enjoying and welcoming trials because it helps them prove their loyalty to the beloved. The immature seekers often misinterpret it and start treating it like a rule that one is supposed to starve, torture oneself to grow spiritually, even if they get mentally unfit and physically crippled in the process, and eventually spoil their growth prospects, due to their own foolishness. The philosophy that lies at the core of this belief is 'The worldly is bad', 'Material self should be discouraged to grow spiritually' and therefore the seeker should run away from everything worldly and disappear in the jungle to grow spiritually.”

“Call me misafir, call me göçmen, This heart of mine is always migrant. Şan ve şöhrete ben muhtaç değilim, Benim derdim dünya, dünya dermanım. Call me gypsy, or call me refugee, This heart of mine is always migrant. I've got no use for silicon or gold, World is my bane, world, my ointment. So many tongues, as many names - Some call agua, some call pani. Conquer the tongue, spirit is the same - Some dub it divine, I live as humanity.”

“Sumber yang paling utama sebagai rujukan kesusasteraan spiritual di seluruh dunia Islam itu dan yang paling penting ialah al-Qur'an sendiri, diikuti dengan hadis Rasulullah terutamanya hadis Qudsi dan hadis yang berkaitan dengan fahaman dan doktrin spiritual. Selepas itu fahaman-fahaman metafizikal dan juga kosmologikal, doktrin yang telah dirumus oleh ahli-ahli metafizik Islam dan doktrin para wali Sufi berasaskan sumber keagamaan dan fahaman tradisional yang tidak bercanggah dengan doktrin spiritual kaum Sufi.”

“بس عبادت کی اتنی ساری حقیقت ہے بابو لوکا! عبادت کا بانڈھا تیار ہوسائیں کے کرم کی نظر پڑ جائےتو باگوباگ ہو جاتا ہے۔ قیمت وہ ملتی ہے جو نہ سان میں نہ گمان میں۔ پر جو بانڈھا ہی پاس نہ ہو _____ تو خالی بندے پر کیا نظر پڑنی ہے ! کدھر سے عطا آنی ہے ! کدھر سے نوازا جانا ہے ____؟؟ بانڈھا تیار رکھ اور اس کی نظر راہ دیکھ____!!”

“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.”

“You must be more alive than life. You must see darkness dance and hear silence sing. You must be more awake than light for we aren’t born sleeping and we shouldn’t live sleeping. Only then will death’s slumber become sweet.”

“This is a day of celebration! Today, we are divorcing the past and marrying the present. Dance, and you will find God in every room. Today, we are divorcing resentment and marrying forgiveness. Sing, and God will find you in every tune. Today, we are divorcing indifference and marrying love. Drink, and play that tambourine against your thighs. We have so much celebrating to do!”
