He said ,"where is your affliction?"
I said, "In the lane of Thy love."
He said, "What is your condition there?"
I said, "That of Constancy"
-- Rumi

'Repentance' is viewed by Sufis as return toward God. Thus unswerving repentance leads to 'abstinence' from distractions, and the 'renunciation' of everything but God, creating the'wariness' that guards the wayfarer's heart from association with other than God. 'Humility' purifies the wayfarer of pride and anger. 'Humbleness' or abject humility describes the heart bent low before God's threshold, prepared for obedience. 'Sincerity', the key to the Path, purifies the seeker's intention.
