Let your invocation be the all-embracing Name, which is Allah, Allah, Allah, or if you so wish, Huwa, Huwa, Huwa; and do not violate this remembrance.

Life is the most precious and wondrous thing that any of us have.

But experience is the denial of Reality, which is neither sensory nor conceptual, neither of the body, nor of the mind, though it includes and transcends both.

Life, within doors, has few pleasanter prospects than a neatly-arranged and well-provisioned breakfast-table.
