Refraining from sins

In response to a question Hazrat once said, "The right way to give up the physical (external) sins is to make a list of all your sins. Send that list to me in a letter. Even this act of informing your Sheikh has an impact. Then give up all the sins that you can immediately give up. For those sins you can not give up immediately keep those in your mind and keep thinking how you can refrain from them. From time to time keep informing me how many sins you have given up, and how many you have not. And keep praying to Allah Ta'alah. These are the secrets of success. Thinking about it, making an effort, prayer and keeping the Sheikh informed.

The right way of giving up mental (internal) sins is that if something happens which makes you think that you may have committed a mental (internal) sin write to me about it to ask whether it was a sin, and if it was what to do about it."
