احتفظ بالسـر لنفسك ..
اذ لا يمكنك الوثوق بأي شخص ، ولو حتى بقصبة ..!

القاعدة الأولى : إن الطريقة التي نرى فيها الله ما هي الا انعكاس للطريق التي نرى فيها أنفسنا
فإذا لم يكن الله يجلب إلى عقولنا سوى الخوف والملامة ، فهذا يعني أن قدرا كبيرا من الخوف والملامة يتدفق في نفوسنا ، اما إذا رأينا الله مفعما بالمحبة والرحمة ، فإننا نكون كذلك.
