(212) Who give you good advice not to do that act; Saying to them, "This is right and quite proper; Who dissuades me from it but men of no account?" Does a man acting on compulsion talk like this? Or rather one who is erring of his own freewill? Whatever your lust wills you deem freewill, Whoso is wise and prudent knows this, That cleverness comes from Iblis, but love from Adam. Cleverness is like Canaan's swimming in the ocean; 'Tis no river or small stream; 'tis the mighty ocean.

(18) Verily these acts should be performed leaving aside attachment (doership) and the fruits; this is my certain and best opinion.

(1) Do not even think of doing what ought not to be done.

(27) On the authority of Al-Nawwas bin Samaan, that the prophet said:

"Righteousness is good morality, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul and which you dislike people finding out about."

related by Muslim.

And on the authority of Wabisa bin Mabad, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

I came to the messenger of Allah and he said: "You have come to ask about righteousness?". I said:" Yes." He said: "Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels tranquil, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and moves to and from in the breast even though people again and again have given you their legal opinion [in its favor]."

a good hadith transmetted from the Musnads of the two Imams, Ahmed bin Hanbal and Al-Darimi, with a good chain of authorities.

(2) You have the right to work only, and not to the fruits of work. Let not the fruit of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.

(32) Reject the feelings of attraction or repulsion, and remember one method of closing the womb-door which I am going to show to thee. Close the womb-door and remember the opposition. This is the time when earnestness and pure love are necessary. As hath been said, Abandon jealousy, and meditate upon the Guru Father-Mother.
