‘You walk upon the water, so does a piece of wood,
You fly in the air, so does a bird,
You travel to the Kaaba in a single night, so does a conjurer,
The true man attaches his heart to none but love’

Nice!
Out of curiosity, was wondering which secret you refer to when you say “may God sanctify his secret”?

Salaams Meher,
‘Secret’ is a translation of the word Sirr – which refers to the innermost consciousness of a human being – I suppose, that portion of us which remains in communion with God.
