A mystic should not behave as if he is somebody different and distinct from others. Apart from breeding an obnoxious sense of superiority, it creates a gulf between him and the people in general. He should mix with people of different temperaments and profession and behave as if he is one of them.

جس قدر سالک کو معرفتِ خدائے تعالیٰ حاصل ہوتی ہے، اسی قدر تعلقات کم ہوتے جاتے ہیں۔

اعتبار خاتمہ کا ہے، ظاہر حال لائقِ اعتماد نہیں۔

طلبِ دنیا میں اگر نیت خیر کی ہو تو وہ فی الحقیقت طلبِ آخرت ہے۔

اکٹھا ہو کر ایک ساتھ کھانا کھانے میں برکت ہوتی ہے۔

تحمل سے کام لو، اگر کوئی جفا کرے تو اسے معاف کرو۔

درویش کو چاہئے کہ اگر اس پر فاقہ گزرے تب بھی اپنی حاجت غیر سے نہ کہے۔

تمام کاموں میں نیت خالص درکار ہے۔
