  1. “And then we can become guardians of this world as we're supposed to because it's God's world. It doesn't belong to us. We're not the masters of the world. It's his beautiful expression, his beautiful creation. And there's this incredibly important moment when the astronauts first saw this world from outer space. And they saw it as one living being. And you have that image. It's like a primal image that belongs now to our culture, to the whole world's culture.”

  2. “I would like people to remember that the world belongs to God, not to us, but to remember it belongs to God. If it belongs to God, then you treat it differently, you treat it sacred, every leaf is sacred, every tree is sacred. You know that, you feel it. It's echoed in this beautiful gardens here. And then there is this relationship between our heart, the inner secret of our heart, and the world around us.”

  3. “At this moment in time. Which is a very extraordinary moment in time, particularly ecologically. That we are destroying this incredibly beautiful planet that we've been given to look after.”

  4. “Like Santa Claus. Right. Checking in twice and was watching everything. Yeah. That is one image of God. But as a mystic, you don't want to stay with the image of God. You want to go to the truth. And again, for the Sufi, the truth has to do with love. I mean, God is love. It's a simple statement. It's like the Beatles song. All you need is love. It is so simple but so true. My teacher used to say mystics teach simple things, but those simple things change people's lives. Because you are touched, because your heart is touched.”

  5. “Own breath, yes. He is closer to you than yourself, to yourself. It's this incredible intimacy. And this is part of the Sufis are known as the people of the secret because since the beginning they've carried the secret for humanity, that God is not out there, not in the clouds, not anywhere else, but within your own heart. And you can experience it. Look, you know how somebody's called...”

  6. “And it is this incredibly intimate love affair. I mean, I tell you a secret, Oprah, is that in every outer relationship, in every human relationship, there is you and the one you love. There is the other. Now what happens if the one you love is actually inside your own heart, if it is so intimate if it comes from within your own heart, if this love touches you, from within your own heart, and closes your own.”

  7. “It is like again when he said God does not look at the outer form, he looks at the love within your love. And if you go into the core of your being, into the very center of yourself, what do you find there? Either love or longing for love. Look, you've met so many people. You've seen so many journeys take place. And isn't it at the core of every person as a longing to be loved? A needful love.”

  8. “Which is love. And maybe Sufism is about those who want to, or Rumi the great Sufi poet, he said, return to the root of the root of your own self.”

  9. “The Sufis actually say in the name of that which has no name. But who appears by whatever name you call him. God is everything. This is one of the basic experiences not just of Sufism, the core of every mystical path, is the oneness. Everything has got. There is nothing other than God. We are all part of this great, mysterious outpouring of love that we call creation. Everything in creation is an expression of this incredible love. Sometimes we can see it more visibly like here in your beautiful garden. And sometimes it's in poverty and suffering, it's less visible, but then you think of people like Mother Teresa who saw the love there. I was often moved when somebody asked it, how can you take care of so many people? And she said, I only ever take care of the one. Because for her, everything was part of this one being”

  10. “It's about the heart. It's about the hot. It's about this extraordinary secret of human beings that within our heart, not our physical heart, but our spiritual heart, we have a direct connection to God. And we can experience that each directly within the heart through love. Would always like to take it back to love, take it back to the individual human beings' relationship with God. I often say Opera, that there are so many different ways to go to God. For all of humanity, people can choose different ways to God, but some people need to experience God through love.”
