A Religious Inspiration

Folder: 
Inspired Spiritually





"There was a time I used to reject those who were not of my faith. Now my heart has grown capable of taking on many forms: a pasture for gazelles, a convent for Christians, a temple for idols, a Kaaba* for the pilgrim, a table for the Torah, a book of the Koran. My religion is love - whichever the route love's caravan shall take, that path shall be the path of my faith."



~ Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240)



*The most sacred Muslim shrine, to be found in Mecca

Author's Notes/Comments: 

People with hearts as pure and truly religious as Ibn Arabi's heart was, will know, understand and apply what this philosopher said.
