“
A Brother once told Al Habīb 'Alī al-Jifrī privately: "I feel disconnected."
Al Habīb: "That is a sign of connection because a disconnected person never feels."
Brother: "What shall I do?"
Al Habīb: "Do you keep up your litanies (awrad)?"
Brother: "Yes"
Al Habīb: "A sign of drinking externally only is to feel satiated & a sign of drinking internally is continuing to feel thirsty..so you will continue to feel thirsty, thus, drink more!
