O Brother! Sin for the servant is great calamity, May God protect us from such things! Sin in the beginning hardens the heart, which ultimately leads to unbelief and wretchedness. Don’t forget the wiles of Satan and the fate of Balaam Baour.

O Brother! We have become fuel of the hell, joining the company of Nimrod and Pharaoh. We have fallen asleep dreaming foolishly about over selves. The effect of heedlessness on the hearts of man is greater than that of hell on the unbeliever.

Righteousness is God’s sword upon the earth. Whatever it touches, it cuts to pieces. Sidq means to see the Causer (Agent) and not to affirm the cause. The present world is the abode of. calamity; the next of pleasure. I would not spend a grain of barley to acquire either!

It is said that a disciple should be like the earth so that his Guide may be like the sky. Sometimes he might shower rain over it and another throw warmth of the sun on it. Sometime, like cloud keep him under his shadow. Sometime fragrant breeze of his compassion and bounty refreshed him making his soil fertile and wealthy. The purpose of all this is to bring the disciple to perfection. He who is blessed, all sorts of arrangements i.e., divine favour and grace descends on him. But he who is wretched in destiny, no soul in the world can take him to the elevated rank.

Saintliness (wiliyat) is one of the divine secret. It is not born from self-discipline, and austerities. Only saint can recognize another saint. If this mystery (nur-e-wilayat) could be made plain (open) to all reasonable men, it would then be possible to distinguish the friend from foe or the spiritual adept (wali) from the careless world-ling. God willed things in such a way that the pearl of friendship (wilayat) was placed inside a shell of popular contempt and be cast into the sea of affliction, so that the seeker of this pearl dive into the bottom of this ocean of death where he will either win his desire or make an end of his life.

A saint (Wali) is a person who continuously enjoys the divine favour in all his activities and becomes one of those protected by God. Among them are four thousand “concealed” ones who do not recognize one another and who do not, know the beauty of their own lofty state. They remain hidden from both themselves and the people. Then there are three hundred saints who are authorized to loose and to bind. They are called Akhyar. And there are forty Abdaal, four Awtaad and three Nugba and two Najeeb and one Ghaus. All these holy men know each other and run administration of the world in consultation with each others. Saint does not rest content with what is miraculous, nor does he pride himself with being a miracle worker. The two attitudes are contradictory.
