"Nothing should stand between yourself and
God. Not imams, priests, rabbis, or any other custodians of moral or
religious leadership. Not spiritual masters, not even your faith.
Believe in your values and your rules, but never lord them over others. If you keep breaking other people's hearts, whatever religious duty you perform is no good.
Stay away from all sorts of idolatry, for they will blur your vision. Let God and only God be your guide. Learn the Truth, my friend, but be careful not to make a fetish out of your truths."
