Abu Talib Makki
Sufi Quotes 10
Gnosis means the vision of God, for when the eye of the soul is stripped of all the veils which hindered it from seeing God, then it beholds the reality of the Divine Attributes by its own inner light, which goes for beyond the light which is given to perfect faith, for gnosis belongs to a sphere quite other than that of faith. Hence, there is no distinction between love of God and knowledge of God.

Gnosis truly, is a tight which God casts into the heart. True knowledge of God is gained when the lover comes in contact with the Beloved through secret communion with Him.

Love leads to knowledge of the Divine mysteries and those who love to abide in God and look to Him only, and He is nearer to them than all else and to them in given a vision of Him unveiled and they see Him with the eye of certainty.
