Will be the Sea

More quotes by Attar of Nishapur

Do all you can to become a bird of the Way to God;
Do all you can to develop your wings and your feathers.

Since I have neither sign nor name
I shall speak only of things unnamed and without sign.

The sea
Will be a sea
Whatever the drop's philosophy.

All things are but masks at God's beck and call,
They are symbols that instruct us that God is all.

From each a mystic silence Love demands.

Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No
