What is Piety?
People often mean piety is religious appearance
Really speaking piety is the healthy state of mind
A man with a healthy mind is really pious
He fears not beyond life’s anxieties and worries which is
above reproaches which by its innermost joy makes the body feels light
The pious feel exalted
When man feels light in his body and joyful in his heart
His soul becomes exalted and purity from all things and conditions of earthly life which pull man down to earth
If this feeling not there in man
However much good there be in him
is of no use
His learning has no value
His prayers all vain
~ Azgar – Sufi Author ~
