One day someone asked a pious person, "I am suffering from a disease, far from Allah. What is the cure?" The pious person said to him, "O you, please look for the root of sincerity, the leaves of patience, the feeling of tawaduk ( being obidient to Allah). Then put them in the vessel of piety and pour into it the water of fear of Allah. Next, put it on the fire of sorrow, and filter it with a muraqabah sieve (Muraqabah is awareness of the existence of supervision from Allah). And, squeeze it with the palms of honesty, drink it with a glass of istighfar, then gargle with wara 'attitude. And keep yourself from greed, then you will be cured of your disease with the permission of Allah. "
