Shah Naseer

Malfooz

From a certain tree, sweet fruit grows. Although that fruit is only one part, yet God has chosen and distinguished that part above the whole, for in it God deposited a sweetness that He did not deposit in the rest. By virtue of that flavor, that part became superior to the whole, and proved the pith and purpose of the tree. So God declares:
“Nay, but they wonder that a warner has come to them from amongst themselves.”

Maulana Rumi

Maktub

Pursuit and renunciation

A dervish should avoid begging as far as possible, as it is dangerous in many respects. He, however, may beg
(a) to gratify his hunger....

Sheikh Sharfuddin Yahya Maneri

Malfooz

A certain dervish had a disciple who used to beg for him. One day out of what they gained from their begging, the disciple brought some food to their master. The dervish ate the food.
That night he had a wet dream.

Maulana Rumi
