TO BE A SUFI
Being a Sufi is to put away what is in your head—imagined truth, preconceptions, conditioning and to face what may happen to you.
- [Abu Said]
WHAT MUST COME
To those who seek truth in conventionalized religion:
Until college and minaret have crumbled
This holy work of ours will not be done.
Until faith becomes rejection
And rejection becomes belief
There will be no true believer.
- [Abu Said]
WORSHIP
O Lord!
If I worship you from fear of hell, cast me into hell
If I worship you from desire for paradise, deny me paradise.
- [Rabia]
THE INNER JOURNEY OF A SUFI
Ever-knowing - as they hide they seek.
Appearing other than they are - to the ordinary man;
In inward light they roam - making miracles come to pass,
Yet they are really known - to none.
- [Anonymous]
