“Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god

“Life is everything. Life is God. Everything shifts and moves, and this movement is God.

love God. The hardest and most blissful thing is to love this life in one's suffering, in the
guiltlessness of suffering.

he has outstripped them, and seek with a throbbing ache at heart only what is good.”
