“In every seeking soul there is a portion, be it small or great, of the light of God.
Everyone who strives has intuition, be it perfect or imperfect.
Knowledge did not end with one people so that the doors of heaven are shut behind
them and the rest of the world is denied the possibility of obtaining more.
Rather the giver of knowledge, who stands at the clear horizon, is not stingy
with the unseen. The most evil age is the one in which the carpet of striving
has been rolled up. In which the movement of thought is interrupted, the
door of revelations bolted and the path of visions blocked.”
Sheik Shihab al-Din Yahya Suhrawardi (1154-1191) as quoted by Pir Zia Inayat-Khan
