Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return.

The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
First lose yourself, then only you find Him. The Beloved is not separate from you; just turn your face within.
