Sarmad Kashani Quotes

He who understood the secrets of the Truth Became vaster than the vast heaven; Mulla says “Ahmad went to heaven”; Sarmad says “Nay, heaven came down to Ahmad.”

O Beloved, in your mercy forgive me my sins
and accept my night-long weeping.
I live in bewilderment, full of transgressions–
Only your grace will bring me release.

O Sarmad! Thou hast won a great name in the world, Since thou hast turned away from infidelity to Islam. What wrong was there in God and His Prophet That you hast become a disciple of Lacchman and Rama?

except no lofty position from lack of will.
Worldliness brings no profit –

In Life's experience of varied kinds, this have I seen:
Your grace, O Lord, far outweighs my sins.
Strange, your mercy has become my excuse for more transgressions–
The greater your generosity, the greater my sins!

Death is hard on your trail in this wilderness–
the end of you and all that you amass.
Suffering at the beginning, regret at the end,
and in the end your attachment trample you.
