Once the sheikh asked a questioner of the murids: We see you in your view, in the hands of health and wellness, you love eating and drinking, and not like the ascetic elders? The sheikh said with a voice that everyone heard: We are people who work to give up and do not beg.
In a discourse about lifestyle choices, a sheikh addressed a questioner from his followers regarding their apparent preference for indulgence in food and drink, contrasting it with the lifestyle of ascetic elders who renounce such pleasures. The sheikh's observation highlights a perceived difference in values and priorities among the participants.
Responding to the query, the sheikh emphasized a principle of self-sufficiency, asserting that his followers strive to cultivate a sense of detachment from worldly pleasures while also focusing on productive contributions to society. This exchange reflects a deeper philosophical dialogue about the balance between enjoyment of life and the ideals of asceticism.
