if you have any questions
Take everything away
and leave me alone with You.
Close every door
and open the one to You.
-Hakim Sana’i
"If the forms of phenomenal beings are embedded in the mirror of the heart, how can it be illuminated? If it is fettered by its appetites, how can it travel to Allah? If it is not purified of the great impurity of its heedlessness, how can it aspire to enter the presence of Allah? If it has not turned away in regret from its lapses, how can it hope to grasp the subtleties of secret knowledge? "
-Ibn Arabi

Go sweep out the chamber of your heart.
Make it ready to be the dwelling place of the Beloved.
When you depart out,
He will enter it.
In you, void of yourself,
will He display His beauties.
-Shabistari
Do not think you are veiled from Allah
by something that is not Allah.
There is nothing besides Allah.
You are veiled from Him by the
Illusion that there is something other than Allah.
- Ibn Ata‘ Allah
Have mercy, just one glance, take the veil off your face:On your cheeks, the gleam of the full moon left its trace.
Your chastity is pure as cracked wheat and chickpeas,Your forehead, your crescent brows teach the young moon grace
Which one of your beauties should the tongue talk about? God, keep them off the evil eye in a safe place.
I couldn't tell your height apart from a cypress, I was in doubt--the rings on your ears made me guess.
Yunus saw God manifest Himself on your face; You can't be separated, you reveal His Grace.
When my Beloved appears,
With what eye do I see Him?
With His eye, not with mine,
For none sees Him except Himself.
-Ibn Arabi
