“The Sheikh says: My son, if a light appears, the darkness recedes on its own, does it not? If good qualities are present, beauty comes on its own. If virtue is present, good conduct comes on its own. If wisdom is present, understanding comes on its own. If understanding is clear, faith in God comes on its own. If faith is present, God will come to you. If God comes, heaven will come to you. If heaven comes, the wealth of God’s grace will come. If the wealth of grace comes, then God’s love and compassion will come. In that state, there are no differences and no darkness. If you fill yourself with these good things, everything will be within you.” (page 92) “My son, peace for the fox is a great loss for the chicken, is it not? Likewise when mind and desire say they want peace, what will they do? They will destroy all the goodness in the world. Their peace is to destroy good conduct, modesty, reserve, respect, fear of wrongdoing, patience, the inner patience called sabur, contentment or shakur, trust or tawakkul, the praise of God or al-hamdu lillah, and all of God’s goodness. A man must think. For wisdom to be at peace, man must uproot and throw away all that the fox of mind and desire brings to him. If he does throw them away and attains wisdom and God’s qualities, all lives will find tranquility through the peace in his life.” (page 99) “Acquire the qualities Of the actions of God And the monkey of the mind will leave And run away all by itself.” (page 100) “M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen- a Sufi mystic, can best be remembered for his efforts to bring unity through understanding to the faithful of all religions.” Copyright: The Golden Words of a Sufi Sheikh Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Family Newsletter April- May 2002
