If you look around, you can find a face of God in each thing, because He is not hidden in a church, in a mosque, or a synagogue, but everywhere. As there is no one who lives after seeing him, there is also no one dying after seeing him. Who finds Him, stays forever with him.
SHAMS TABRIZIWherever you go, east, west, north or south, think of it as a journey into yourself! The one who travels into itself travels the world.
