Mayest Thou deign to be sweetness and let life be bitter!
If Thou art content, what matter that men be angry.
Let everything between me and Thee be cultivated,
Between me and the worlds let all be desert!
If Thy love be assured, all is then easy,
For everything on earth is but earth .<\/p>\n

He was the\u00a0Ghawth<\/i>\u00a0(Arch-Intercessor) of his time and unique in his station. He was the\u00a0Qiblah<\/i>\u00a0(focus of attention) of his people and an Ocean of Knowledge from which saints still receive waves of light and spiritual knowledge.<\/p>\n

He devoided himself of everything except Allah\u2019s Oneness, refusing for himself all titles and aspirations. He would not be known as a follower of any science, even a spiritual science, and he said: \u201cI am not a\u00a0rahib<\/i>\u00a0(hermit). I am not a\u00a0zahid<\/i>(ascetic). I am not a speaker. I am not a Sufi. O Allah, You are One, and I am one in Your Oneness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of knowledge and practice he said:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”60px|30px|60px|30px|false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Anglecia Pro Display||on||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Scholars and servants in the lower world are numerous but they don\u2019t benefit you unless you are engaged in the satisfaction of Allah\u2019s desire, and from morning to night are occupied with the deeds that Allah accepts\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

About being a Sufi he said:<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”60px|30px|60px|30px|false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Anglecia Pro Display||on||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Sufi is not the one who is always carrying the prayer rug, nor the one who is wearing patched clothes, nor the one who keeps certain customs and appearances; but the Sufi is the one to whom everyone\u2019s focus is drawn, although he is hiding himself\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”60px|30px|60px|30px|false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Anglecia Pro Display||on||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Sufi is the one who in the daylight doesn\u2019t need the sun and in the night doesn\u2019t need the moon. The essence of Sufism is absolute nonexistence that has no need of existence because there is no existence besides Allah\u2019s existence.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was asked about Truthfulness\u00a0(Sidq)<\/i>. He said, \u201c\u00a0Truthfulness is to speak your conscience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of Bayazid he said:<\/p>\n

When Abu Yazid said, \u2018I want not to want\u2019 that is exactly the wanting which is real desire\u00a0<\/span>(irada)<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He was asked, \u201cWho is the appropriate person to speak about\u00a0fana\u2019<\/i>\u00a0(annihilation) and\u00a0baqa\u2019<\/i>\u00a0(permanence)?\u201d He answered, \u201cThat is knowledge for the one who is as if suspended by a silk thread from the heavens to the earth and a great cyclone comes and takes all trees, houses, and mountains and throws them in the ocean until it fills the ocean. If that cyclone is unable to move the one who is hanging by the silk thread, then he is the one who can speak on\u00a0fana\u2019<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0baqa\u2019<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

One time Sultan Mahmoud al-Ghazi visited Abul Hassan and asked his opinion of Bayazid al-Bistami. He said,<\/p>\n

Whoever follows Bayazid is going to be guided. And whoever saw him and felt love towards him in his heart will reach a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At that Sultan Mahmoud said, \u201cHow is that possible, when Abu Jahl saw the Prophet\u00a0\"salla\"\u00a0and he was unable to reach a happy ending but rather ended up in misery?\u201d He answered, \u201cIt is because Abu Jahl didn\u2019t see the Prophet\u00a0\"salla\"\u00a0but he saw Muhammad bin `Abdullah. And if he saw the Messenger of Allah he would have been taken out of misery into happiness. As Allah said, \u201cYou see them looking at you but without clear vision\u201d<\/i>\u00a0[7:198]. He continued with the saying already quoted, \u201cThe vision with the eyes of the head\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
