Want to know what the Great Sufi Saint Hazrat Ghous ul Azam Abdul Qadir JIlani has to say about this world?
"O seekers of this world! As long as you are constantly engaged in the search for her, you are doomed to weary labor. This world goes looking for those who try to run away from her. The harder the person runs in the effort to get away from her, the harder she runs after him.
In order to derive benefit from this world, you must first become detached from her and actually run away from her. Getting stuck with this world will block you off from the hereafter, while getting stuck with the lower self will block you off from the Lord of Truth.
Yes, you must run away from her, for she is an extremely cunning, deceptively enchanting, and utterly lethal witch. You must separate from her with your hearts, before she separates from you. You must become detached from her, before she detaches herself from you.
Listen to this O you who are sick! What I have been explaining to you is a remedy for your ailments, so put it to good use! Whenever someone becomes detached to something, that thing comes looking for him.
You must become detached from all objects of creation (makhluqat), so that the creator (Khaliq) will love you."
