What is Sufism ? – Mir Valiuddin

‘ Bishr ibn al-Harith’ said : “The Sufi is he whose heart is sincere (Safa) towards God.” Another great Sufi has said: “The Sufi is he whose conduct towards God is sincere, and towards whom God’s blessing is sincere.”

Sufi Hameeduddin Nagauri stopped eating meat when he went to Nagaur. Because that time Nagaur was a town of Jains who did not eat any non-vegetarian food. So, Sufi Hameeduddin Nagauri also left having non-vegetarian food that he could adjust himself to the society.
Chishti Sufis practically supported the idea of co-existence with the concept of love, peace and equality. These selfless services for humanity which the Chishti Sufis taught to every man enshrined in their practices and literature.

Nizamuddin Auliya to Amir Khusrau: I am weary of everyone, even myself, but never of you

Nizamuddin spent his life providing happiness to the human heart and helping the poor — for by doing so he realised his Maker.
You would ask what brought a court poet to the khanqah of a Sufi ascetic who had given up the world to serve the poor? This was a Sufi who had nothing of kings. He could not care less for what they stood for. He had no time for them. Nizamuddin had one King.
