As you believe, so shall you be! As you are, so shall you will! As you will, so shall you live!

"Allah is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Struggle is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations."

you want to know who i am. Well, i am what you consider me be- not more, not less. All that i can say is that in the midst of all apparent changes of state in body and mind, i feel, i am aware, that i am always the same. I feel that in me there is no change of states. Call it by any name you like. Who or what i am will probably come out of my mouth someday. Now it is not so happening. If there were aham jnana, I-consciousness, in me i could express who i am. As it is not there, i am what you choose to say about me. This entire universe is my house. I am in my own house even when seeming to be roaming from place to place. I am conditioned as well as unconditioned. I am neither infinite nor finite. I am both at the same time, I am with everybody, whether twenty, fifty, or a hundred years old. I exist before there is any creation, duration, or dissolution of the world. People have various visions of gods and goddesses in me according to their own conditioning. What i was before, i am now and shall be hereafter. I am also whatever you or anybody may think i am. Why dont you look at it this way: that the yearnings of seekers after truth have brought about this body. you all have wanted it and you have found it. That is all you need to know.

"I am the Pagan, I worship at the alter of the Jew. I am the idol of the Yemenite. The actual temple of the fire worshiper. The priest of the Magi. The inner reality of the cross legged brahman meditating. The brush and the color of the artist. the suppressed powerful personality of the scoffer. One does not superceed the other. When a flame is thrown into another flame they join at the point of "flameness." you throw a torch at a candle and you say "see, i have annhilated the candles flame" (Iksham Kazar)

"I entered, i lost the boundary of my physical body. I had my skin of course, but I felt I was standing in the center of the cosmos. I saw people coming toward me, but all were the same man, all were myself. I had never known this world before I always thought I was created. Now I must change my opinion, I was never created, I was the Cosmos, no individual existed."

"Humanity is asleep, concerned only with what is useless, Living in a wrong world. Believing that one can excel this is only habit and usage, not religion, this religion is inept. Do not pratle before the people of the path, rather consume yourself. You have an inverted knowledge and religion if you are upside down in relation to reality. Man is wrapping his net around himself. The lion, the man of the way, bursts his cage usunder" (Sanaai)

"Incarnation in a body is mistakenly confused with life. Life is eternal and so is living. When you realize this you are a Sufi. SUFI! Vedanta or Sufi- whatever you chose, they are identical" (Pagal Baba)

"As far as I am concerned the only reality is here. Once you realize that all are the same- all religions, all forms then you are a Sufi" (Pagal Baba).
