“For Sufis, the primary zikr, or practice of divine remembrance, is La ilaha illa'Llah, which means in Arabic, "no god but God." Azar Kayvan taught his disciples to recite Nist hasti magar Yazdan, which means in Persian "no existence but God." (p. 93)" ― Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Mingled Waters : Sufism and the Mystical Unity of Religions

“The journey to God has an end, but the journey in God is endless. (p. 39)" ― Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Mingled Waters : Sufism and the Mystical Unity of Religions

“Journey of Life would be traveling from the intellectual sphere, from the mind space, into the heart space. That’s really the journey, for wisdom is to be found in the heart, and this is the place, I think, where the Journey of Life really can culminate, can really find itself.” ― Pir Zia Inayat Khan, The Seven Pillars Journey Toward Wisdom

“There is a way of living through what you are experiencing now that will bring you closer to God.” ― Pir Zia Inayat Khan, The Seven Pillars Journey Toward Wisdom
