The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship

From The Golden Words of a Sufi Sheikh, Word#806.

Do not preach to the world with the idea of creating revolution or acquiring power and position.

Make every speech to yourself. There is a revolution within you, and insurgents have taken over your kingdom, your freedom, and your life. The revolution of satan and his followers has taken over your entire life. Demons and ghosts and spirits, mäyä, darkness, arrogance, and karma have created a revolution within you and captured your independent life. You must subdue and capture them.

You must fight that war, executing a counter-revolution so that you can exile them all and rule your own kingdom once again. That is true socialism.

Capture the evil and banish the satans within. If you can do this, you will have peace and freedom. If everyone can achieve this state, there will be no war at all because there will be true socialism—no war outside and no war inside. True socialism is to live with the belief that every life is as precious as one’s own. This is the life which will give peace, unity, and tranquillity. You must safeguard the inner realm, keeping it in the same state in which Allah gave it to you. This is the way you must conduct your life in the world of Ïmän-Isläm.
