I love sufi music and that's the reason why I'm such a big fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Sonu Kakkar

Body is purified by water. Ego by tears. Intellect is purified by knowledge. And soul is purified with love.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

With charity, money is purified. By service, our actions are purified. With music, our emotions are purified and with knowledge our intellect is purified.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Some have asked if the stock of men could not be improved,--if they could not be bred as cattle. Let Love be purified, and all therest will follow. A pure love is thus, indeed, the panacea for all the ills of the world.

Henry David Thoreau

Technology teaches passivity. Absorbed in our devices - at any age - we are absorbed in someone else's perspective.

Julia Cameron

Even the Quran, which Sufis respect as the direct speech of God, lacks the capacity to shed light upon God’s essence. As one Sufi master has argued, why spend time reading a love letter (by which he means the Quran) in the presence of the Beloved who wrote it?

Reza Aslan

If Love dwelt not in Trouble, it could have nothing to love. But its substance which it loves, namely the poor soul, being in trouble and pain, it hath thence cause to love this its own substance and to deliver it from pain, that so itself may by it be again beloved.

Jakob Bohme

To those who say "Sufism is apolitical" or "no politics," I respond: "No politics is politics." Look at the very old African Sufi tradition, the Asian Sufi tradition, or the North African Sufi tradition. Then you get it and understand what Sufism is all about wisdom, courage and resistance.

Tariq Ramadan

Sugar Ray Leonard was as close as anyone came after Ali to being Ali, but he wasn't Ali.

Dick Schaap

Got a chance to work with amazing and finest directors like Priyadarshan, Anurag Kashyap, Imtiaz Ali, Meghna Gulzar, Vipul Shah, Dibakar Banerjee, Kamal Haasan, etc.

Jaideep Ahlawat

The real guru is the pure intellect within; and the purified, deeply aspiring mind is the disciple.

Chinmayananda Saraswati

Ali was a threat because he was a voice, and the people hated Ali when he was a voice, but once Ali could no longer speak and he wasn't a voice, they loved him. Love me now. I don't want to be loved if I could barely walk or barely talk. That's not cool.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

I am not a Sufi, but I follow the Sufi.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

When love is pure, it has the power to conquer. Lover and beloved conquer each other by their affection. The source, the essence, the fullest manifestation of love's conquering power is the love of the soul for the supreme soul, or God.

Radhanath Swami

In an age when the fashion is to be in love with yourself, confessing to be in love with somebody else is an admission of unfaithfulness to one's beloved.

Russell Baker

No creature hath the like resemblance to the divine nature, as light hath. He doth not only dwell in light, but he is light. Light is a pure, bright, clear, spiritual, unmixed substance. God is infinitely so.

Matthew Henry
