Advice By Ameere Kaabeer From Lettter No. 18

Sovereignty lies in tasting the truth, Not in grabbing the world by force and ill will. Everyone has been given his share in this world, But he alone is rich who attains the pleasures of the next world If you want to achieve the throne of prestige in this world, Discard the worldly power and be with those who offer (true) prayer. If a hundred worlds are in your possession, Your property is what you earn for the next world ; Whether you are a slave or a free man, Do not Look at what you are not supposed to; When in this world you don’t make efforts to achieve success, Then how can you be among the faithful confidants On the Day of judgement.

Advice from Letter No. 14

One who willingly opts for the pain (in love) of his lord, His face (bears testimony to the state ) of his heart. One who is familiar with his Lord (king) Shall bear on His forehead the imprint of his glory. One whose eyes are blessed with the Divine Light, His countenance glows with the Divine Light. If you want from your 'Friend' (Lord) a penetrating eye, Then there is no choice but to suffer pain (day and night) If you aspire for Light, burn your heart like a candle desires, Only great men of action sacrifice their lives for their Lord, The Lazy dare not tread on this path, O gullible ! If you dare not step on this straight path, Then, at least, be a follower of those who have chosen it.
