Desires are flames that never snuff, if catered flares further. Skill to balance them is rare and can never be achieved but if gifted.

خادم الأُمَم

Degree have an endpoint; positions and institutions are ranked. Academic eliteness is measurable and achievable. This is not the case with spirituality, and even less so with the spiritual responsibilities.

A mentor has to know his mentees and that surrounds them in time & space

Sitting alone in the room

He said, "Humne aapko ijazat di?"

Ji.

"B'ayt dene ki bhi ijazat di aapko?"

Ji.

"Tahriri di hai na?"

Ji.

Thrice.

"B'ayt li aapne?"

Kucch aaye the.

"B'ayt liya karein. Humari dua aapke saath hai!"

😢Spiritual perfection is arduous than academic!

If abundance of something good was enough for a change. The change would be monotonous.

Knowledge for Muslims has been monotonous for past few centuries. And, more books won't fix it.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

Society never makes leaders, neither does it facilities him, nor can it.

They never benefitted from existing societal resources and hencethough owe absolutely nothing, yet choose to serve it as

خادم الأُمَم.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

When intelligence manifests, lips cease to move.
When spirituality persists, lips cease to be fed for a move.
When both touch your body and soul, you ridicule and dominate the seen and the unseen.

Another unreserved train travel. It tells me about my country, it's moods, emotions and difficulties. People are searching for something and running after another thing! You don't need a US Math PhD to turn their anger to love but a Sufi with warmth and forbearance.

Anyone who sits for long at the grave of Nizamuddin Auliya neither isn't not "educated logon ke saath rehna" kind, nor "inka aqeedah kharaab hai". You can not see behind the mud and the tombstone!

Spirits of a Spiritual tree are not unfamiliar to eachother.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

طَلَبَ مِنِّي الصَّدِيقُ أَنْ أَكُفَّ عَنِ التِمَاسِ غَيْرِهِ،
فَكَانَ لِزَامًا عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَرْحَلَ.

مَا خُلِقْتُ لِأُخَالِطَ النَّاسَ،
وَلَكِنِّي كَلَّمْتُهُمْ لِأُعْطِيَهُمُ السَّكِينَةَ.

خُلِقْتُ لِغَايَةٍ،
وَقَدْ كُشِفَتْ لِي الغَايَةُ فَمَا تَرَدَّدْتُ.

كَيْفَ أَرَاكَ
وَقَدْ غَرِقَتْ عَيْنَايَ فِي النُّورِ؟

تَتَقَلَّبُ بِي الحَالَاتُ:
هُبُوطٌ يُوهِمُ الطَّرْدَ وَالرَّفْضَ،
وَصُعُودٌ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا سِتَارٌ وَخِدَاعٌ.

مَآذِنُهُ مَسَاكِنِي،
وَعَدُّ النِّعَالِ عَلَى الأَبْوَابِ وِرْدِي.

فَإِذَا غِبْتُ عَنِ الخَلْقِ
فَفِي الحَقِيقَةِ لَمْ أَغِبْ…
بَلْ أُخْفِيتُ عَنْهُمْ لِأُبْصِرَكَ وَحْدَكَ.

I hate sloths. This is in my pure blood, my fitrah.

Intelligence separates you as good as ignorance. Group of Geeks is a possibility, but a "group" of ignorants is merely a stack.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

I was pouring Zamzam into my can, I bent and tightened the cap when He gazed in me on my heart.

My Shaykh my Sayyid, 10 years of separation had drained me. Come to me sooner soon.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

Forgive me for never forgiving. pAtar

Years ago, I went to the bank to withdraw 23 cents.

I was asked to talk less.

I saw a beggar on the street, he knew me. I could not talk.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

Overwhelmed by love, can not think.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

Ulbis!

Some are like Ibrahim bin Adhem. If they like(d) filth, filth denied them.

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

After 15 years of struggle filled with shame, hardships, and the tawajjoh of my elders, I have reached a stage where lowering my gaze has become a stable state of my heart.

Prettiness no longer pulls my sight — بدنظری سے چھٹکارا.
نعمة من الله
Next goal: to relieve my conscious

[Safdar Quddus @QuddusSafdar]

Maarifat comes with a pain. There are understandings that you will never be able to make others understand.

The higher you rank, the heavier it is.

ایک ابدال کا غمگین ہونا لازم ہے.
