Additional quotes by Al-Ghazali

ومن أول الطریقة تبتدئ المكاشفات ( والمشاهدات ) ، حتى أنهم في یقظتهم یشاهدون الملائكة ، وأرواح الأنبیاء ویسمعون منهم أصواتاً ویقتبسون منهم فوائد. ثم یترقى الحال من مشاهدة الصور والأمثال ، إلى درجات یضیق عنها نطاق النطق ، فلا یحاول معبرأن یعبر عنها إلا اشتمل لفظه على خطأ صریح لا یمكنه الاحتراز عنه.
وعلى الجملة. ینتهي الأمر إلى قرب یكاد یتخیل منه طائفة الحلول ، وطائفة الاتحاد ،
وطائفة الوصول ، وكل ذلك خطأ. وقد بینا وجه الخطأ فیه في كتاب (( المقصد الأسنى
)) ؛ بل الذي لابسته تلك الحالة لا ینبغي أن یزید على أن یقول :

وكان ما كان مما لستُ أذكره
فظنَّ خیراً ولا تسأل عن الخبرِ!

a unity of three separate relationships: (1) our relationship with others, nature and the universe; (2) our relationship with God; (3) our relationship with our “self.“ These relationships are not alien to one another; there are no boundaries between them. They move in the same direction.
