The Code of the Dervish


One of the rules of spiritual poverty observed by the faqir is to refrain from blame or criticism of those who are enmeshed in worldly ambition. Instead, the faqir is merciful and charitably disposed towards them and prays for them until they are relieved of the burden of this affliction.

--Javad Nurbakhsh (from Sulami's Tabaqat).
