"My heart holds within it every form,
it contains a pasture for gazelles,
a monastery for Christian monks.
There is a temple for the idol-worshippers,
a holy shrine for pilgrims;
There is the table of the Torah,
and the Book of the Qur'an.
I follow the religion of Love
and go whichever way His camel leads me.
This is the true faith;
This is the true religion."
~Ibn Arabi
