"Your Lord lives within you; what do you search for outside?"

"The blind man sees, and the deaf man hears. The dumb man speaks, and the lame man walks."

"The moon shines in my body, but my blind eyes cannot see it: The moon is within me, and so is the sun. The unstruck drum of Eternity is sounded within me; but my deaf ears cannot hear it."

"The sacred books are like a well, and the wise man is like a bucket; he draws water from the well, and drinks it."

"The earth is a dish, and the sky is a lid. The sun and moon are lamps, and the stars are jewels."
