Commentary by M. A. Khan
Exceptional faqr (spiritual excellence) is abandonment of materialism from your heart. If you have other than, Allah in it and Allah will not dwell there and you will not be able to access faqr. When you kill your base self and humiliate it by acting as pauper. If a person abandons worldly wealth from his heart and feels regret within his inner he still has vestige in his heart. The passion for Allah is such that drank whole of the river of Oneness and still thirsty. The path of spiritual excellence is to shred tears of blood due to pain for Divine love. But materialists see it as entertainment and a laughing matter.
