Love came and flew as blood in my veins Emptied me of mysel… - Abū-Sa'īd Abul-Khayr

" "
Love came and flew as blood in my veins
Emptied me of myself and filled me with beloved.
Each part of my being she conquered
Now a mere name is left to me and the rest is she.

Additional quotes by Abū-Sa'īd Abul-Khayr

If you wish that God should dwell in your heart, purify your heart from all save Him for the king will not enter a house filled with stores and furniture. He will only enter a heart which is empty of all save Himself.

Through love we're slain, the world's our slaughter house
We've no food nor sleep, the world's our cookhouse.
We've no desire for paradise, because
Our hell's a hundred times loftier than that.

Evil is thou', and the worst evil is thou', which thou knowest it not.
