Sufi Quotes of Khwaja Baqi Billah
Three things motivate the Mashaikh to educate and guide the people: First Divine inspiration, second, order of the Shaikh, third, kindness and compassion on the creatures. When the spiritualists see mankind going stray, they try to remove evils from them. Fear before the creatures is torment in Hellfire and terror on the Day of Judgment. Kindness is that the Mashaikh make it incumbent on them to motivate and exhort the public to adhere to Shariah, but not that to persuade them to aspire and seek unitive life which demands something else, but not kindness. It is something additional

Unless you don’t get irradiation (sajalli) of His real Essence, you cannot be considered to have attained the state of Detachment (tafrid). The sign of this blessedness is that one becomes immune of all the temporal and celestial boons. And all kinds of inner states and contemplations are directed towards Abadiyya (abstract Oneness) and one is delivered from anxiety permanently. After the attainment of “Detachment”, it is futile to aspire contemplative ability.

Those who are God-wary, intuition does not benefit them. Intuition (Aashf) is also of two types. First is cosmic intuition which is totally worthless, the second is celestial which is enough for the job. No other kashf can vie with it.

The spiritual Guides after annihilation and subsistence become manifestation of the Knower (alim), the Wise (hakim), and Speaker as is written in the books of mystic path (tarigat). You should always remain humble and benefitted. The disciple always needs his Shaikh. And as someone says that such and such person does not need his Shaikh; it means he has attained union through light. At this stage; if the Shaikh withdraws himself from amid, it would not cause any harm to the disciple.

Khwaja Baqi Billah ascribes distance and remoteness to a superstition. He says: “When you come to know that this is the reality, you find that nearness and distances are a creations of our imagination. There was no distance between you and God which necessitated an effort for coming near to Him, neither was there any separation which required an attempt for a union.

May Allah Most High save us from the prison of ego and deliver us from the veil of self-conceit. To tease the hearts of auliya Allah and ear their displeasure, is a big cause for failure to arrive at His pavilion. The spiritualists have said that it is not so harmful to fall from the Divine Throne, as it is to fall from the eyes of a saint. In mystical path, one has to be grieved (afflicted) too much. One has to become discipline incarnate. Selfhood and vainglory won’t do.

Do not associate with a person whose heart does not aspire gnosis (marifat) of Allah. And flee from such exoteric scholars who have made their learning means to get high rank, dignity, conceit and renown, as you run away from lion.

Favour and kindness of the spiritualists and their inner glance is the sum-total of all the blessedness. It puts on track the distracted, and creates awareness in the God-wary people especially when their graceful glance is combined with their association.

To avoid illicit food and to be purified from all despicable qualities enhances yearning. Try always to shun illicit, and doubtful morsal. Blameworthy traits of the lower-self, like anger, bad conduct, undue sexual appetite, and other sensual impulses should not appear. Unless you implore and seek Divine help, you cannot escape from such, baneful desires. Therefore, be always humble and meekly.

جو لوگ خدا کے آگے گردنِ تسلیم و رضا خم کئے ہوئے ہیں وہ مصیبت و بلا کو بلا کی صورت میں نہیں دیکھ سکتے۔
صبر لذاتِ نفس سے نکل جانے اور مرغوب و محبوب اشیا سے باز رہنے کو کہتے ہیں۔
aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
