Længsel


Thus it is that the souls of those who have known God seek after the green pastures, the beautiful vistas, the fresh green gardens - but all other things which they long for echoing their experience before God are a source of pain for them because they serve only to remind them that they are unattainable and recall the lost Beloved. Sad indeed is their lot!
Shaykh al-Junayd, Kitab al-Fana'
