The man of God is drunken without wine, .... Rumi

12c Spanish mystic Ibn Arabi wrote "God in whose existence one believes is the Divinity built according to the conjecture of the servant" This is the qualification that the servant has conjectured within himself and which he worships in accordace with it, and he puts God into his own narrow frame. Therefore he condems the belief of anybody which does not accord with his own belief. ..... Were he tolerant he would not have done so.... .
