1. I never saw any lamp shining more brilliantly than the lamp of silence. ~ Bayazid Bastami
2. “By my life, my grasp is firmer than His”
3. “I saw the Kaaba walking round me”
4. “Glory be to me! How great is My majesty!”
5. “Moses desired to see God; I do not desire to see God;He desires to see me”
6. “Thy obedience to me is greater than my obedience to Thee”
7. “I am I; there is no God but I; so worship me!”
8. I went to a wilderness, love had rained and had covered earth, as feet penetrate snow, I found my feet covered with love.
9. I stood with the pious and I didn’t find any progress with them. I stood with the warriors in the cause and I didn’t find a single step of progress with them. Then I said, ‘O Allah, what is the way to You?’ and Allah said, ‘Leave yourself and come.’
