Will you bid others to piety
and forget yourselves,
while you recite the Book?
Do you not apply reason?
And take recourse in patience
and prayer,
and it is indeed hard
except for the humble
—those who are certain
that they will encounter their Lord,
and that they will return to Him.
Al-Baqarah [2:44-46]
For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
