Shah Naqshband's sayings on the Duties of Saints

He said, "Allah created me to destroy the materialistic life but people want me to build their materialistic life."

He said, "The people of God carry the burden of creation for creation to learn from them. Allah looks at the heart of his saints with his lights, and whoever is around that saint will get the blessing of that light."

He said, "The shaikh must know the state of his murid in three categories: in the past; in the present and in the future in order for him to raise him up."

He said, "Whoever is initiated by us and follows us and loves us, whether he is near or far, wherever he is, even if he is in the East and we are in the West, we nourish from the stream of love and give him light in his daily life."
