Sufi Quotes of Shah Kamaal Qadri Kaithli

Once he said to Shaikh Jalaluddin Thansiri: “It is incumbent on Faqir not to talk anything of the world with Faqir. If you want to know about the king, it is better for you to sit and inquire from the people walking in the street.” At another occasion, he said to Jalaluddin: “Faqir is blessing for the people not a troublesome figure for them. You are immersed in contemplation of Divine beauty, but the people are suffering for want of food. It does not behove Faqir.”

Shah Kamal wrote to Shaikh Abdul Ahad Kabali. O Dear! Dive into the sea of violent love. If tide of the sea throws you on the sea-shore, it is good and it is a great success. And if driven into the abyss of the sea, no one would criticise you nor shall we. If time is wasted while sitting at the sea-shore, you shall deserve dead fish. And if like driver dive into the depth of the sea, you shall be deserving radiant pearl.

Listen! Here lies a secret whose privy person is rind (drunkard).There is no confidant of this secret except him. You annihilate yourself, abandon the temporal world and become His confidant. That Sun seldom shines here. Whatever was promised there, is not fulfilled here.
