O Dervish! Religion of Faqr is that you have no concern with anyone. All is from Him. Unless the faith of dervish in hama oost (All is He) is not firmly established, he must not count himself in the category of dervish. And whatever the foremost ee Allah have written in books, you keep in touch with them.

Saadi Shirazi

Sufi Quotes

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.

Khwaja Baqi Billah

Sufi Quotes

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.

Khwaja Bahauddin Naqshband

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.
