CONSUME LIFE
The true lover finds the light only if, like the candle, he is his own fuel, consuming himself.
- Attar of Nishapur, quoted in The Way of the Sufi
Whatever you have in your mind - forget it; whatever you have in your hand - give it; whatever is to be your fate - face it!
- Abu Sa'id Ibn Abi-L-Khayr, quoted in Travelling the Path of Love: Sayings of Sufi Masters
Love is "warm tenderness of heart."
- St. Theophan the Recluse
You are a Sufi when your heart is as soft and as warm as wool.
- Traditional, quoted in Travelling the Path of Love: Sayings of Sufi Masters
"Ask to be the servant of the Lord, a vehicle of divine love, a channel of God's will. Ask for direction and divine assistance and surrender all personal will through devotion. Dedicate one's life to the service of God. Choose love and peace above all other options. Commit to the goal of unconditional love and compassion for all life in its expression and surrender all judgment to God."
- David R. Hawkins
