We may be lying
"Your desire, whatever hold your interest for a time, is like a wind, a flying horse that carries you and then lets you drop. You have no control over when that happens or where you will land when it does.
Religion, faith, your "surrender", these are ways of claiming that you live on land and are not anymore endangered by whirlpools or by the waves that lift a ship and slam it down.
Anyone who says the sentence, I have faith, may be lying in either or both of two ways: his real dependence may be in how he enjoys pleasures, or in a treasured bitterness about suffering.
Remember and be warned by the couplet:
Your eyes are my religion,
this dark hair, my faith."
-Bahauddin
