Since you are not a prophet, follow the way taught by prophets.
Since you are not a king, be a loyal subject to the king.
Since you are not a captain, do not take the helm of the ship.
Since you do not possess every skill, have partners in your business.
Be as pliant as dough in the hands of others, that you may rise well.
- Rumi, "Mathnawi"

Some Quotes about the Importance of Adab
Aadaab is the practice of being present. See the whole day as practice. If one is practicing being present, then one is also practicing Aadaab.
Aadaab is devotional service to God. All other spiritual practices are only mechanical supports to put you in the framework of Aadaab so you can realize this One thing.
Aadaab is simple. It is the constant devotional service to Allah. Practices on the path are only the devices to support your Remembrance.
