Become Like The Earth – Abdur Rahman’s Corner

Peace, one and all…

al-Junayd said: ‘One cannot be a gnostic until one has become like the earth, which is trampled upon by both the righteous and the sinners, or like the cloud which casts its shadow on everything, or like the rain that quenches the thirst of those it loves and those it does not love’

Quoted in al-Qushayri, Risala fi Ilm al-Tasawwuf
