RENUNCIATION
Sultan Al-Hind Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti (Qaddas Allahu Sirrahu) advised, "O dear one! The more you are involved in worldly affairs and worldly men, the more away you are from God. If you are as busy in your appointed task which is remembrance of God, as you are in your worldly affairs, then that is much better for you. The closer you come to the people of the world, the more disconnected you are from God."
In a letter to Hazrat Khawaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki (Qaddas Allahu Sirrahu), Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti (Qaddas Allahu Sirrahu) advised " Know that among the people of the world, the wisest are those who have devoted themselves to sufism. This is because the object here is to have no object, and to lose object is to gain object. But those in ignorance have taken happiness as trouble and treated trouble as happiness. So the wisest is the one who upon the mere thought of some worldly object, renounces it and accepts piety (faqr) as his ultimate goal."
Dua:
Ya Mere Allah Jumla Ambiya ke Wastey,
Hajathe Barla Meri Kul Awliya ke Wastey
O my Lord, for the sake of all your beloved prophets and saints,
Please fulfill all my needs and remove my pains
Silsila E Aliya Khushhaliya !!
