Sacred Quotes of Huzoor Gharibnawaz, RA
Quotes of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti, Ajmeri, RA.
The intervening period of eight centuries has not affected their ever
lasting value and efficacy.
Essence of Sufism: The heart of a lover, i.e., lover of God, the true
devotee, constantly burns with the flame of Love so much so that
whatever passion intrudes upon its sanctity is burnt to ashes. He
indeed is a true devotee, blessed with the love of God, who is gifted
with the following three attributes:
1) Charity like ocean, i.e his sense of charity has no limits and is
equally beneficial to all the creatures of God who approach him.
2) Affection like sun, i.e. his affection may be extended
indiscriminately to all, like the the rays of the sunlight, and
Hospitality like earth, i.e. his loving embrace may be open like that
of the earth.
3) A sin committed does not harm the individual as much as the
looking down with contempt upon fellow beings.
- The test of a true devotee's mind is that it always and in all
circumstances, strictly stays obedient to the will of God, and is
constantly afraid of behaving in a manner which is apt to displease
Him, resulting withdrawal of His grace.
- A seer of the 'essence of things' is characteristically mute and
meditative. He is a hardened sinner who commits sin and yet
simultaneously entertains the belief that he is one of the God's
'chosen few'.
- A hermit ( Dervaish ) is one who would never disappoint a person
in need.
- Patience is tested through resignation to sorrow, sufferings and
disaster without a murmur, disclosing one's pains to others.
- The more one learns about the 'essence of things' the more he
wonders.
- The seer regards Death, as a friend, luxury, as an enemy and the
constant remembrance of God, as a glory.
- The best time for the seer of dervish is indicated by the absence of
all worries from his mind.
- Knowledge is comprised upto an unfathomable ocean and,
enlightenment is like a wave in it. Then what is the relation of God
and man ? While the ocean of knowledge is sustained by God alone,
enlightenment pertains to man.
- Prayers (Namaaz) is the ladder leading to the proximity of God
Almighty.
- Prosperity departs from the lier and soon he is destitude.
- The graveyard is the place for picking up a lesson. In a solemn
surroundings, one should not indulge in laughing or burst into
laughters, eat or drink or do any other worldly thing.
- Keep handy your equipment for the last journey, and think of
death as hovering over your head at all times.
- God rains misfortune and misery upon the heads of those whom
He loves.
- The best way of evading the hell-fire lies in feeding the hungry,
providing water to the thirsty, removing the wants of the needy and
be-friending to the miserable.
- Just as the sun shines gradually in the morning, so does the Divine
Light expands in one who offers 'Ishraaq' (Love).
- When the Aarif meditates over a thing, he attains a state of
absorption in which even if thousands of angels assuming wonderful
forms try to distrattract him, he would remain entirely undisturbed.
- There is impurity below every human hair, hence water must touch
and reach the root of every hair. If a single hair shall remain dirty,
purification is not complete and is impaired.
- Human Perspiration is not impure (Hadith).
- Offer your repentance quickly before death arrives and hurry up
to perform the Namaaz before its final hour passes.
It is incumbent on the followers of the path of 'Tariqat' (the path
leading to Divinity) that he must first divorce and denounce the
physical world, and then the second world thereafter and ultimately
his own 'self' (Nafs) when alone he can pursue his right path, failing
which he should abandon the enterprise of Sufism. For a follower of
the path of Truth, it is worse than a sin to disdain or look down
upon any one. When the Aarif becomes silent it means that he is
talking to God, and when he closes his eyes it means that he his
knocking at God's door. The path of Love (of God) is such a path
that whoever stepped into it, he lost himself. Those devoted to the
path of 'knowledge of God's realisation'
(Irfaan ) have nothing to speak of, except God.
Severance of connection with wealth and property is one of the
inferior achieve-ment of an 'Aarif'. Those who are true lovers of
God, give away both of the worlds for the sake of their 'beloved'
and even then they feel that they have done nothing whatever.
Verily he is an Aarif who is clothed with three qualities-firstly, piety;
secondly, conduct eliciting respect, and thirdly, modesty. Love of
God transcends and is above all passion for others. Perfection of
Faith is evidenced by three things - Fear, Hope and Love.
Death is a bridge which expands the passage for a lover to reach his
beloved ( God ).
True Friendship or love ( of God ) lies in maintaining His constant
recollection in heart and not in expression by speech. The heart was
essentially created for making rounds of the love of God.
