Baba FaridRadi Allahu anhu's discourse are contained in a book entitled Rahat-ul-Qulub complied by his spiritual disciple and premier Caliph Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya ( Radi Allah Anhu)
''To conceal the faults and shortcomings of others constitutes sainthood.A dervish must the adopt four things.If he possesses these four things,then he will be entitled to be called a dervish,otherwise not.Firstly,he must close his eyes so that he may not see the faults of the people.Secondly,he must close his ears so that he may not hear anything undesirable.Thirdly,he should keep his tongue tied so that he does not say anything undesirable.Fourthly,he should keep his legs and his feet tied,so that his self does not carry him to a place undesirable or without any necessity.If the dervish may possess these four things,then alone will he be counted among the dervishes,otherwise he is a liar pure and simple.
Perseverance is a virtue that characterises the way of the saints,ordinary perseverance is not sufficient and should extend to the utmost limit;so mush so that even if someone places and unsheathed sword upon his neck or strikes it,he should eince joy.He should not curse the person who so treats him.
