“As long as man was in the moolight he desired to reach the moon…there was bliss in the moonlight but the moon itself was distant. Moonlight was near but man longed for the moon…man reached the moon but there he was without moonlight. If one reaches the moon one does not find moonlight any longer and if one is in moonlight one does not find the moon. It is a strange fact that one is only because of the other…one is a sign of the other yet both are forever separate. If the Beloved is the Moon, moonlight is His remembrance. When the Beloved is present His remembrance is not and when His remembrance is present the Beloved is not. Proximity to one is distance from the other, Union with one is separation from the other. Thus union is hidden in every separation and separation in every union.”

“One who has no beloved in the country can never love the country.”

“The period before the dawn of knowledge is called the age of darkness.”

“He who has no light in his heart, what will he gain from the festival of lamps.”

“There can only be two contexts of your life. Either you are the author of your life, or He (the Creator) is the author of your life. People who feel that their creation is the responsibility of the Creator, find opportunities unexpectedly. Those who feel that their lives are their own, have to fashion their own means.”

“A man is happy who is happy with his Naseeb(allotted portion).”

“When the eye becomes the heart, the heart becomes the eye.”

“If a society has no moral foundations then success is a threat. Every successful person thinks everyone else is a failure, and this is the proof of failure. Conquering the world and dying empty-handed on foreign shores is a paradox of such success.”

“The world is ancient, but it has not lost its newness.”

“In love, there is no distinction between success and failure. If love remains then even separation is union otherwise even union is separation.”

“Life is not only Newton, it is also Milton.”
