GAYAN 130 - BOULA -089 - To whom the soul truly belongs, to Him in the end it returns. Just as the body which is made of clay is drawn to the earth, so the soul which belongs to the spirit is drawn to the spirit.

GAYAN 114 - BOULA -073 - Wisdom is like the horizon: the nearer you approach it, the further it recedes. Wisdom is that which is learned from within; intellect is that which is acquired from without. The source of wisdom is above, the source of intellect is below, and therefore it is not the same... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 107 - BOULA -066 - When man denies what he owes you, then it is put on the account of God. “There comes a stage in the moral evolution of man when he perceives and understands the moral of beneficence, and he learns to return good for evil.

GAYAN 046 - BOULA -005 - A pure conscience gives one the strength of lions,

GAYAN 046 - BOULA -005 - A pure conscience gives one the strength of lions, and by a guilty conscience even lions are turned into rabbits. When it is told in the story of Daniel that he went into the lions' den and made them all lie tamed at his feet, that is again the spiritual power. It shows what... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 038 - ALANKARA-21 - My simple trust! How often thou has disappointed

GAYAN 038 - ALANKARA-21 - My simple trust! How often thou has disappointed me, yet I still go on following thee with closed eyes. For a person to have a simple faith does not mean that he has no sense. Such a person may be the most sensible of all, while one who thinks that he is too clever to trust...

Gayan #301 – Bola #260 - One who worships God and despises man worships in vain. A complete believer is he, who does not only believe in himself, but respects the beliefs of others. For a Sufi, in this world there is no one, neither heathen nor pagan, who is to be despised. For he believes in that... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 194 - BOULA -153 – Overlook the greatest fault of another, but do not partake of it in the smallest degree. Man is born with such a critical tendency and has so much developed this tendency that he easily seeks what is bad in everything. The Sufi takes the contrary way; he seeks for what is...
