When you are solicitous about the friend (Allah), shake off all (religious) restraints (or shackles). Those who saw Him, kept away from all religious (i.e. they brushed aside the religious mandates for the time).
آنرا کہ فنا شیوہ و فقر آئین است
نہ کشف نہ یقین نہ معرفت نہ دین است
(Roomi)
He whose mode of life is annihilation and self-contentment, has neither a manifestation, nor belief, nor gnosis nor religion.
مُگو ایں کلمہ کفر است گر گوی شوی کافر
برو ای مدعی نادان، چہ دانی سرمستانرا
(H. Bu-Ali Qalandar)
Do not say it. Such a statement amounts to disbelief. It may brand you as an infidel. Go to, O stupid cynic! You do not know the secrets of the ecstatic persons.
Note: According to some sufis, mostly the followers of lbn Sabaeen, the difference between conformity to the Divine orders as prescribed by all religions and the sinfulness ceases to exist at that highest stage of evolution. They hold that offering of Namaz at that stage is tantamount to pantheism. Such persons say that they are not to suffer due to sinfulness.
شیخ گر شارب خمر ای مرغ خاک
بحر قلزم را از مرداری چہ باک
(Roomi)
O plebeian! If a holy man takes wine it means nothing. An occean's water cannot become polluted if a carrion were there. -
