Practices

O darvish, human beings of every nation and religion all exist by the
honorable cloak of existence, all are human beings like you.
If you are truly a lover of Absolute Being, then love all beings and be kind to
them. By doing so, you prove that you deserve the
privilege of belonging to the human family.

O darvish, disrespect for what others hold sacred only indicates
your own imperfection. In this regards, try to make yourself
perfect in the eyes of those who truly see.

O darvish, you have entered your name in the book of
outstanding human beings. If you are incapable of becoming
one of these people, at least try not to disgrace those few who truly hold the
good name of ‘sufi’.

O darvish, if others behave badly towards you, do not consider
them to be bad. Rather, look upon them as having a sickness and
be kind to them. If you conduct yourself in this way, you truly possess health
of the spirit.
