For more about the 10th c. Sufi Sheikh Abu Saeed Abil Khair, see this earlier post.

Those with no sense of honour and dignity are best avoided.
Those who change colours constantly
are best forgotten.
The best way to be with those
bereft of the Beloved’s qualities,
is to forget them in the
joy of silence in one’s corner of solitude.
