Shah Naqshband on Spiritual Knowledge

He said,

"To reach the Secrets of Oneness is sometimes possible, but to reach the Secrets of Spiritual Knowledge (Ma'rifat) is extremely difficult."

He said,

"Spiritual Knowledge is like water, it takes the color and shape of the cup. Allah's Knowledge is so great, that however much we take, it is like a drop of a huge ocean. It like a vast garden, however much we have cut it is as if we had cut but one flower."
