“The flowers of your qualities will reveal your true nature. If you have the fragrance of God, you will have the fragrance of an insan kamil, a perfected man. There will be light in your face, beauty in your heart, and sweetness in your speech. (p. 399)”

“I asked who are you ? He said I am the one, a clay potter.
I asked what is in the clay ? He said my commanded soul.
And he then said whatever and whoever the clay are made of I am the one who command the soul in it.
And I asked curiously who is he who has born to a virgin who had breath the soul in the clay? and made it fly!
He said shush!!! he is my secret!”

“And who can be love? Certainly, if you are not aware of who you are, you cannot be love. You will be fear. Fear is just the opposite of love. Remember, hate is not the opposite of love, as people think. Hate is love standing upside down, it is not the opposite of love. The real opposite of love is fear. In love one expands, in fear one shrinks. In fear one becomes closed, in love one opens. In fear one doubts, in love one trusts. In fear one is left lonely. In love one disappears; hence there is no question of loneliness at all. When one is not, how can one be lonely? Then these trees and the birds and the clouds and the sun and the stars are all within you. Love is when you have known your inner sky.”
