O, my friend: Love makes the world of creation a possibility and the ecstasy of ascension a will. Look around yourself and see a universe saturated by the fragrance of love. If there were no love and endurance for such longings, then who could beautify words into majestic melodies? If there were no breeze to gracefully caress the hair of the beloved, then how could the lover see the revealing face of the beloved? Such longing is to gracefully return to the Provider, in the state of perfection. Oh, my friend, do not become a slave of worship, but understand the meaning of worship; understand the meaning of Divine, Allah, and practice to be pious and peaceful; become a true human being, as becoming a true human being is the key to salvation. Oh, my friend: if you have chosen an inner path, remember that we all are travellers, our moments are passing and we are passing with them. Your wealth will not remain forever and your pain will not last, so do not become a slave to your wealth nor to your pain. If you are a person of an inner path, then you are a person of peace, so make peace with yourself and your surroundings.
