They asked one of the sheikhs of Syria about the truth of Sufism;

He said: Before this, there was a group in the world who were outwardly scattered but inwardly united; now there is a group who are outwardly united but inwardly scattered.

When your heart goes to a different place every hour,

Even in solitude, you will not see purity.

And if you have status and wealth, and farming and trade,

When the heart is with God, that is true seclusion.
