Salih of Qazwin was teaching Truth seekers “Knock and the Door will open for you”; when Rabi’a heard this, she admonished him, “What are you talking about, the Door has never been shut.”
Yet, Rumi said, ” I knocked and the door opened, but I found I’d been knocking from the inside.”

Idries Shah...What can you do with a person who says that he is absolutely uncertain about everything, and that he is absolutely certain about that?
.
Jiddu Krishnamurti...In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.
When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears- when you give your whole attention to it.
.
Robert Frager...Whatever we perceive in the world around us tends to reflect who we are and what we care about most deeply, as in the old saying, When a thief sees a saint, all he sees are his pockets.
Truth is simply about seeing things as they truly are- a realizationthat is available to all.
