Khusrau darya prem ka, ulti wa ki dhaar, Jo utra so doob gaya, jo dooba so paar. English Translation. Oh Khusrau, the river of love Runs in strange directions. One who jumps into it drowns, And one who drowns, gets across.
~ Amir Khusrau
With faith one attains and realises peace and harmony. With doubt one destroys and gains freedom to move ontowards.
~ Fazal Inayat-Khan
