-
Love Towards All, Malice Towards
None.
-
The spiritual disciple deserves
to be called a Dervish only when he lives in the
world with no self-interest.
-
There are such lovers of God,
whom the love of God has made quiet to an extent
that they do not know that there is anything
else existing in the world.
-
He is a hardened sinner who
commits sin and yet simultaneously entertains
the belief that he is one the God’s ‘chosen
few’.
-
A friend of God must be generous
like a river. We all get water from the river to
quench our thirst. It does not discriminate
whether we are good or bad or whether we are a
relation or a stranger.
-
The noise of the lover is only
while he has not seen his Beloved. Once he sees
the beloved, he becomes calm and quiet, just as
the rivers are boisterous before they join the
ocean, but when they do so, there are becalmed
forever.
-
The heart was essentially
created for making rounds of the love of God.
-
Whosoever received any
blessings, received them due to his generosity.
-
The Enlightened becomes perfect
only when all else is removed from in-between
him and the Friend. Either he remains or the
Friend.
-
When one comes on the path of
love of the Friend, he becomes nonexistent
(loses himself).
-
Those devoted to the path of the
‘knowledge of God’s realisation’ (Irfaan ) have
nothing to speak of except God.
-
A seer of the ‘essence of
things’ is characteristically mute and
meditative.
-
Be overflowing with peace and
joy,
and scatter them wherever you are
and wherever you go.
-
He indeed is a true devotee
blessed with the love of God, who is gifted with
the following three attributes: river-like
charity, i.e his sense of charity has no limits
and is equally beneficial to all the creatures
of God who approach him, Sun-like affection,
i.e. his affection may be extended
indiscriminately to all like sunlight and
Earth-like hospitality, i.e. His loving embrace
may be open to all like that of the earth.
