As you meditate, never get surprised (at what is manifested to you). Suppress all talks (or traces) of hypocrisy or half truths. Do not associate with those who are egoists. You should certainly mix with the true seekers, because thereby alone you will be nearing union with Allah.
(a) And when it is said to them: ‘come, so that the Apostle of Allah may ask forgiveness for you’ they turn aside their heads, and you will find them keeping back, as they are full of pride. (5, Al-Munafiqun).
(b) The believers should not take disbelievers for friends in preference to the believers.

You all and vacillate don't be apprehensive, give up all deceitful talk,
Do not build near those, who talk in terms of 'I' and 'We',
attain union with the beloved.
