Start your Saturday with words of wisdom from Sufi teacher and author Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee! Then, tune in tomorrow as Llewellyn discusses Sufism, love and happiness with Oprah under the oaks on "Super Soul Sunday."

“In order to hear the guidance that comes from within we need to attune ourself to the frequency of the heart and be sensitive to the still, small voice of the Self. “
- Excerpted from Sufism: The Transformation of the Heart by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee


“Through meditation and inner work we create an inner space that is unpolluted by the desires of the ego and the chatter of the mind. Going within the heart, we learn to listen to the voice of the Beloved, the guidance of the Self.”
- Excerpted from Sufism: The Transformation of the Heart by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee


"Love is the desire of the heart that can help us overcome the desires of the ego. St. Paul said, ‘Love bears all things’; love gives us the strength to bear the difficulties, doubts, and uncertainties that the ego and the mind place in our path. If we know ourselves as lovers then we know the meaning  of our sacrifice and we can cross the desert that lies between the ego and the Self."
- Excerpted from Prayer of the Heart in Christian and Sufi Mysticism by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee (Publication date: May 1, 2012)
