Additional quotes by Abū-Sa'īd Abul-Khayr

If you don not come to repent your existence,
You'll never approach the circle of gnostics and drunkards
Unless in other's eyes you become an infidel,
In the creed of lovers, you'll never be Muslim.

Take one step out of yourself that you may arrive at God.

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