Story 

  One of the sheikhs of Syria, being asked on the true state of the

Sufis, replied: 'In former times they were a tribe in the world,

apparently distressed, but in reality contented whereas today they are

people outwardly satisfied but inwardly discontented.'

        If my heart roams away from thee every hour,

        Thou wilt find no tranquillity in solitude

        But if thou possessest property, dignity, fields and wares,

        If thy heart be with God, thou wilt be a recluse.
