The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship

From The Golden Words of a Sufi Sheikh, Word#972.

Bawa Muhaiyaddeen: To understand iman, we need wisdom and ‘ilm.

Question: We go on saying, “Wisdom, wisdom,” but how can we understand wisdom?

Bawa Muhaiyaddeen: If a child is naughty, what do you do? You spank him. Like that, if the mind is naughty, you must spank it with wisdom and control it. That is wisdom. That is what we must seek. Please realize this.
