What is Real Love 1-3 - A Sufi Perspective
"Liberate yourself from the fetters of the Ego and surrender yourself before God.
Let the Lord be your shepherd, allow Him to attend to all your cares
And do not allow temptations to entice you.
Aspirations of this world are the cause of all concern.
Aspire to God and obtain freedom."
Do not regard yourself as infamous or weak.Rumi
Reflect upon your aspirations, O noble one.
No matter what your station be,
keep searching.
For this pursuit is a blessed course.
This quest removes all impediments to Allah CC
I needed great courage to go out into the dark, tracking God into the unknown - HafizA person who has firm faith and believes in Allah doesn’t complain of others behaviour - Hazrat Khwaja (R.A.)
A sin committed does not harm an individual so much as looking down upon one's own fellow human beings - Hazrat Khwaja (R.A.)
The essence of all wisdom is to know the answers to ‘who am I?’ and ‘what will become of me?’ on the Day of Judgment - Jalaluddin Rumi
Strive to discover the mystery ( Who am I?) before life is taken from you. If while living you fail to find yourself, to know yourself, how will you be able to understand the secret of your existence when you die?- Farid ud Din Attar

true from The Truste
HZ Ali(r.a.) said to Malik al-Ashtar:
O Malik, retain and understand the following wording:
O Malik, the owners of weak conviction are disregarding their personality.
He whoever takes greed as his slogan is disgracing himself.
He whoever publicizes his problem is satisfied with humility.
He whoever shows others his secrets is disrespecting himself.
He whoever makes his tongue as his leader is perishing himself.
Greed is the butcher of the personality.
He who intrudes himself in various sorts of acts will surely be disappointed by his desire.
Stinginess is dishonor.
Cowardice is shortcoming.
Piety is a shelter.
Thankfulness is fortune.
Patience is bravery.
The poor is strange in his homeland.
Poverty prevents the intelligent from providing his arguments.
Satisfaction is the best comrade.
Good manners are new garments.
The rank of a man is his mind.
A man's chest is the store of his secrets.
Verification is prudence.
Thinking is a fine mirror.
Forbearance is a virtuous character.
Alms-giving is an effective medicine.
The current actions will be in front of their doers later on.
Learning examples is a good warner.
Good humor is the trap of amiability.
The rank of patience to faith is as same as the rank of the head to the body. Hence, the impatient are faithless.
