Materialism, attachment to things of the world, includes pride. Many religious people suffer from pride: taking pleasure or even delight in being good, or religious.

The Sufi is One who does not care when something is taken from him, but who does not cease to seek for what he has not.

Like the bat, the Sufi is asleep to 'things of the day' - the familiar struggle for existence which the ordinary man finds all-important - and vigilant while others are asleep. In other words, he keeps awake the spiritual attention dormant in others. That 'mankind sleeps in a nightmare of unfulfillment' is a commonplace of Sufi literature

None should say: 'I can trust' or 'I cannot trust' until he is a master of the option, of trusting or not trusting.

The sufis believe that they can experience something more complete.

The union of the mind and intuition which brings about illumination, and the development which the Sufis seek, is based upon love.

MAN: Kick him-he'll forgive you. Flatter him-he may or may not see through you. But ignore him and he'll hate you
