Quotes from Camille Helminski

I've said that Love annihilates desire and lust and ambition. Love and affection are such things that when they become active, even if someone were to bring a hundred houris, a hundred beautiful maidens of paradise, in front of you, they would seem as lifeless as mud bricks to you. Whenever you hear a word of wisdom or begin contemplation, that love and affection start to move.

The pain will be born from that look cast inside yourself, And this pain will make you go beyond the veil. (Mathnawi II, 2517)
