Anyone who has not achieved full God-realization is on dangerous ground when he attempts to deal with the senses. Even in a self controlled way. There’s is always the risk of sense enslavement, for the mind usually gets mixed up with whatever is in proximity with it. The mind ordinarily follows the rule a “first come first served”; so if sense experiences are placed before it the mind gets used to indulging in transitory human pleasures forgetting any effort to experience the permanently blissful nature of the true self.

But once the devotee  has fully experienced the bliss that flows from God, that Joy becomes the most tempting, and the senses forever lose all hold. They can offer no competition.

~Paramahansa Yogananda

From interpretation of the Bhagavad - Gita Chapter IV The Supreme Science of Knowing God
Verse 27

This thread right here is a treasure trove. The reason I did not think we could understand the awakened sense of justice you have recently mentioned from the 10 Sufi principles is because we have not achieved full God-realization as you shared quoted above.
