Sufi Quotes

To be a Sufi means to abide continuously in God and to live at peace with men. The right attitude toward fellow-men is that you should not lay burdens upon them but rather burden yourself according to their desires. Treat other as you would like to be treated, for the faith of God's servant is not made perfect unless he desires for other what he desires himself.
