"Being in the company of one's spiritual brethren in this world is the consolation for being in the abode of materiality".
Abu 'Abdullah as-Sijzi, the shaykh from Khorasan, goes on to describe Sufi conduct:
"It means accepting the excuses of humankind and your own shortcomings; seeing their perfection and your imperfections; and having compassion for all creatures, in their goodness and evil".
This is how i want to live, inshAllah.
The underlying objective is the "perfection of futuwwa (Sufi chivalry) is that you not busy yourself with humankind at the expense of God, the Glorious and Mighty".
