Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

Maulana Jalaludin Rumi

The Sinner and the Pious

A man came to Aishah [رضي الله عنها] and asked: “When will I know that I am pious?”

She said: “When you realise that you are a sinner.”

He said: “And when will I realise I am a sinner?”

She replied: “When you think you are pious.”

Do not take someone’s silence as his pride, perhaps he is busy fighting with his self.

My heart is so small it’s almost invisible. How can you place such big sorrows in it? “Look,” He answered, “Your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world."

The misuse of Sufi poetry is symptomatic of modern culture’s combination of materialism with self-spirituality. The theme that runs through the New Age movement is about experiencing the “Self” because it is the way to experience the “God” or “Goddess” within. As noted by Peter Pels in his 1998 article “Religion, Consumerism and the Modernity of the New Age”, the New Age emphasis on self-spirituality is rooted in late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century occultism. It is a detraditionalised form of faith that internalises religiosity, turning an individual’s reliance to be on “inner voices”, and in turn rejecting any outside authority. The Self reigns supreme in place of anything external to it. It is therefore ironic that religious Sufi symbolism, which was used to express annihilation of the Self in the presence of the Divine, is now being used to express the elation of the Self in the presence of another’s. [A]s many Sufi poets and saints have warned, their poetry begins at the metaphoric level to indicate literal meanings other than what first comes to mind, all of which revolve around the Divine.
