#faqir

The ‘Dervishes’ became part of the Sufis and those of the saints who were just everything and were nothing. These are the people who lived through their life and enjoyed the godliness in themselves. They’ll enjoy the vastness in the self, they have the depth of all oceans, they have the height of all skies and they have width of all horizons. And they were still, simple humble human beings. We call them Fakirs, who have no worry, nothing to worry about, nothing to feel about, nothing to manipulate about.

❝In Sufism, ‘Dervishes’ or ‘Faqir’ are terms which refers to faqr (holy poverty): The poor man is not he whose hand is empty of provisions, but he whose nature is empty of desires. The food of the dervish is ecstasy, his clothing is piety, and his dwelling place is the Unseen❞ Sufi Master Ali b. Uthman Hujwiri (d.1077)
