There is no fire in hell. Everyone who goes there brings their own fire, and their own pain, from this world.
— Lal Shahbaz Qalandar Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India

(“You must understand,” said Sain Fakir, putting a hand on his heart, “everything is inside. This is what we believe. Both hell and Paradise—it is all within you. So few understand …” “There is a story about Lal Shahbaz Qalander, which Sain Sahib once taught me,” said Lal Peri. “One day Lal Shahbaz was wandering in the desert with his friend Sheikh Baha ud-Din Zakariya. It was winter, and evening time, so they began to build a fire to keep warm. They found some wood, but then they realised they had no fire. So Baha ud-Din suggested that Lal Shahbaz turn himself into a falcon and get fire from hell. Off he flew, but an hour later he came back empty-handed. ‘There is no fire in hell,’ he reported. ‘Everyone who goes there brings their own fire, and their own pain, from this world.’”)
