Request:
assalamu alaykom wr wb,
Sayidna Ali karamallahu wajhu said, folly is an incurable disease.
I am so foolish in every zone of life, will Mawlana too disqualify me?
Response:
`Alaykum Salam,
So are we all without exception, and Mawlana looks after us anyway because, as Mawlana Jalal al-Din Rumi said: Our dergah is a bimaristan [mental asylum], so take heart and try to spend time in the suhba of the wise. At least let us be with them even if we cannot be like them.
