« Do not despise anyone or anything, for when God created him, he did not despise him. »

Shams al-Din Tabrizi

« The path to truth passes through the heart, not through the head. So make your heart, not your mind, your main guide. Confront, challenge, and ultimately overcome the soul with your heart. Knowing yourself will lead you to knowing God. »
