Another point to bear in mind is the rights of one from whom one has learnt Deen. Do not, till the end of one’s life dash his rights to the ground. Some display independence, in that they no longer maintain contact with the teacher. Some disappear for a month or two, others for much longer, even to the extent of years. Remember to fulfill the rights till the end of life of one from whom one has learnt even a single letter. Hadhrat Ali (radhiallaho anho) states

“One who has taught me a single letter has enslaved me.”

Immaterial of the circumstances that prevail, even though one’s teacher, one’s spiritual guide scolds and reprimands one, never bear malice in one’s heart towards them. If at times they are harsh with one, do not bear enmity against them. Consider their reprimands, their scolding as being part of one’s treasure in the quest for Allah’s love. If, for one’s reformation, one is scolded by an Allah wala, consider it to be an investment in the account of love for Allah which He will definitely record. The love, which is for the sake of Allah, is a true love
