“Man is compounded of form and meaning, of satanic and divine; every instant the houris of paradise and the devils of hell show their faces from his inward reality, so that it may be seen which vein and which attribute dominate over him. His desire takes him to that form with which he has a greater affinity; it becomes his qiblah (direction) and beloved. Necessarily in the end he will become identical to it and be resurrected with it.” (Sultan Walad)
