There is justice, and there is just-us. - Shaykh Abdal Hakim-Murad

You should imagine everyone whom you see as better than yourself, even though someone may be obedient and someone else disobedient, since it might be that the obedience of the former is the last of his acts of obedience while the sinfulness of the latter is the last of his sinful acts. [Shaykh Nizamuddin al-Awliya]

Maulana Rume said;

My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless ;
'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved.
I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one;
One I seek, One I know J One I see, One I call.
He is the first, He is the last, He is the outward, He is the inward;
I know none other except 'Ya Hu' and 'Ya man Hu.'

Suffering is a gift. In it is hidden mercy.

[Iqra]

"A derwesh is one who lives
in this world amongst the people, and yet, not amongst them, and that
he should engage himself in the remembrance of Allah.  He should not
be pleased at people's praises, nor should he be saddened at their
insults; because in the eyes of derwesh, praise and insult is regarded
as equal."

Hazrat Khwaja Aminuddin Bu Hubaira Basri

- Saying 'I don't know' is a part of knowledge.

- Hide your good deeds like you hide your sins.

- Forget your good deeds but always remember your sins.

- Deeming oneself to be knowledgeable is utter ignorance.

Said Sayyedina Ali

"Whosoever desires Heaven will forget the desires of this world."

[Husayni]

O Lord, grant me your love, grant me that I love those who love you; grant me, that I might do the deeds that win your love. Make your love dearer to me than the love of myself, my family and wealth." (Tirmidhi)

Sayyiduna Mansur Hallaj Rahmatullah Alaih prayed in 'Arafah:

''Ya Allah! Disgrace me in front of the world! Take the love for me in their hearts away! So, that when I Worship You, I Worship You, solely, without any motives or for the pleasure of the world!''

Anything sacrificed for the sake of God was given to you by God only The other souls deserve love in a limited way only controlled by the rules of justice. But the Lord deserves unconditional love and kindness for His devotee. If you realize the truth by taking away the layer of ignorance acting as a stage of this divine drama, you will be surprised to know that anything sacrificed for the sake of God was given to you by God only. He gave something to you and forgot that the some thing belongs to Him. He covered you also with His delusion (Maya) so that you will think that this something belongs to you only. Now the drama of sacrifice is enacted over the stage of this layer of ignorance by which both God and devotee forget the basic truth. Now when the soul sacrifices the something to God, both God and soul enjoy the sweet love of sacrifice based on the concept of donor and acceptor. Realized scholars pierce through the stage of ignorance and find out the truth that the something belongs to the Lord only and the whole drama is just for enjoyment of the sweet love of devotion between God and devotee. If you compare God with the other souls who love you just for sacrifice of something which belongs to you only( in the relative sense ) and that their love on you is only for their selfish happiness only, you can realize the difference between God and your beloved souls and deservingness of God to your boundless love.
