about the people in the back who clean the shoes.
What the shoes mean in tariqah? Shoe means ego. The one who sits in the back and cleans the shoe, is that one who is like a mureed for the shaykh... He goes amongst the other muhibeen and carries their burdens. He cleans the shoes of those egos, that constantly washing, spiritually and physically. What difficulties come to them, they absorb, and they pray for forgiveness. And if they offended you, they chase after you and beg your forgiveness.
It’s not a shaykh, eh, if you go in the presence of the shaykh he speaks, he speaks. You like it, you like it, they don’t care. These representatives and anybody representing Mawlana Shaykh (Q) anywhere in the world, we have to know our job is just to run after people.
Job is to run after people and make people happy, make people to love the Shaykhs. Ask to carry the burdens and the difficulties and to clean the shoes of the followers, to make sure that they are happy on their journey.
That our whole purpose is to die, is not to be anything, not to be anyone, but to seek a path of complete annihilation. We pray that in this month and the month opening, that they open more and more realities for us, more and more understanding of nothingness...
that we are all trying our best to be nothing...
in an eternal, vast ocean of everything.
