If you wish that God should dwell in your heart, purify you… - 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.
