“The Sufi is considered to be someone who is truly without self, without existence, who has no concern for the material world and whose attention is focused on the divine beloved alone.”
- From the Discourses of Dr Javad Nurbakhsh

“Come, come whoever you are,
An unbeliever, a fire-worshipper, come.
Our circle is not one of despair.
Even if you have broken your vows a hundred times,
Come, come again.”
- Mawlana Jalalu’ddin Rumi
