One of the rules says, You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue, or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for Him: in the heart of a true lover. There is no one who has lived after seeing Him, just like there is no one who has died after seeing Him. Whoever finds Him will remain with Him forever.

Additional quotes by Elif Şafak

إنها لقاعد الأولى يا أخي : إن الطريقة التي نرى فيها الله ما هي إلا انعكاس للطريق التي نرى فيها أنفسنا
فإذا لم يكن الله يجلب إلى عقولنا إلا الخوف والملامة، فهذا يعني أن قدرا كبيرا من الخوف والملامة يتدفق في نفوسنا، أما إذا رأينا الله مفعما بالمحبة والرحمة، فإننا نكون كذلك.

It is never too late to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready to change the life I am living? Am I ready to change within?’ Even if a single day in your life is the same as the day before, it surely is a pity. At every moment and with each new breath, one should be renewed and renewed again. There is only one way to be born into a new life: to die before death.
