The Way Of A Pilgrim Quotes
My heart has become capable of every form: It is a pasture for gazelles And a monastery for Christian monks, And the pilgrim's Ka'ba, And the tablets of the Torah, And the book of the Koran. I follow the religion of Love: Whatever way love's camel takes, That is my religion, my faith. — Ibn Arabi
My heart can take on any form:
A meadow for gazelles,
A cloister for monks,
For the idols, sacred ground,

The scrolls of the Quran.

Wherever its caravan turns along the way,
That is my belief,
My faith. — Ibn Arabi
