In this teaching, recorded on 8 January 2022, Sheikh Bahauddin Adil reminds us of the value of honouring those who have walked before us. True reverence for our elders goes beyond polite words; it is expressed in humble gestures such as respectfully kissing their hands. This simple act acknowledges the guidance, experience and love they have given to younger generations and turns an everyday encounter into a moment of gratitude and remembrance.
We take this as an invitation to bring humility into daily life – at family gatherings, in community meetings and in personal reflection. Greeting elders with sincere respect keeps alive the Sufi principle that every encounter can become a prayerful affirmation of our shared lineage.
