Quotes

  • Khurshid Mehtiyevahas quoted5 years ago
    hat they found there was so beautiful that they lost their ability to speak.
    The angels, taking pity on them, offered two choices. If they wished to regain their voices, they would have to forget everything they had seen, albeit a feeling of absence would remain deep in their hearts. If they preferred to remember the beauty, however, their minds would become so befuddled that they would not be able to distinguish the truth from the mirage. So the handful who stumbled upon that secret location, unmarked on any map, returned either with a sense of longing for something, they knew not what, or with myriads of questions to ask. Those who yearned for completeness would be called ‘the lovers’, and those who aspired to knowledge ‘the learners’.
  • Khurshid Mehtiyevahas quoted5 years ago
    For apprentices everywhere – no one told us that love was the hardest craft to master
