Sufi thoughts
I've been working with some texts about different religions that I got from my teacher and while I was reading about Islam, I found some interesting Sufi thoughts. Some time ago, yesero posted a thread on bumper stickers. I guess some of the quotes below could be printed all over a car's body (or tatooed over one's body). Feel free to share your favourite quotes, SpanishAddicts ![]()

"Asking good questions is half of learning."
"A donkey with a load of holy books is still a donkey."
"The sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.'
Look what happens with a love like that. It lights up the whole sky."
"Pray for what you want, but work for the things you need."
"Enlightenment must come little by little - otherwise it would overwhelm."

Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might. (speaking of a good work ethic here, don't do things half-way).
Look what happens to a love like that, it lights up the whole sky.
Those beautiful words we said to one another,
are hidden in the secret heart of heaven,
one day like the rain , they will pour
our love story all over the world.
A human speaking with his beloved (God)
A house without love is not a home.
Una casa sin amor no es un hogar.
Without love it is merely a building; love is what makes it a home.
Sin amor es simplemente un edificio; es el amor que lo hace un hogar. ![]()

Issabela, the donkey one deserves 5 stars! The rest are also great but I need help on a meaning behind the 3d one, the sun - earth one. What am I missing?
