Quotes from Bayazid Bastami

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought.

All Religions are vehicles and a path to God's Divine Presence.

Moses desired to see God; I do not desire to see God;He desires to see me

The thing we tell of can never be found be seeking, yet only seekers find it.

All this talk and turmoil and noise and movement and desire is outside of the veil; within the veil is silence and calm and rest.
