1 " Don’t judge the way other people connect to God; to each his own way and his own prayer.God does not take us at our word. He looks deep into our hearts. It is not the ceremonies or rituals that make a difference, but whether our hearts are sufficiently pure or not. "
― Shams-i Tabrizi , Rumi's Sun: The Teachings of Shams of Tabriz
2 " I’ve said that Love annihilates desire and lust and ambition. Love and affection are such things that when they become active, even if someone were to bring a hundred houris, a hundred beautiful maidens of paradise, in front of you, they would seem as lifeless as mud bricks to you. Whenever you hear a word of wisdom or begin contemplation, that love and affection start to move. "
