Sufism the Life Of A Sufi Is The “Life Of The Spirit” Regulated Strictly In Accordance With Islamic Theology And Traditions. To Attain This, The First Lesson Is Unshakeable Belief In The Existence Of God And Unconditional Surrender To His Will. This Entails A Strenuous Life Attended By Rigid Austerity And Self-Denial. He Has To Undergo A Course Of Training In Regular Prayers And Meditation To Attain The Divine Knowledge And Realization Of The Truth. This Particular Knowledge Is Passed On ‘In Secret’ By One Sufi To Another Having The Requisite Qualifications i.e. “One Who Does Not Think Evil” , “Does Not See Evil” , “Does Not Hear Evil” And “Does Not Speak Evil”. Without This Divine Knowledge, One Cannot Fathom The Hidden Mysteries Of The Nature And Those Of The Soul. To Sum Up The Whole Object Of Sufism Is To Attain The Highest Spiritual Perfection.
A Sufi Will Be Distinguishable From Others On Account Of His Detachment From His Parents, Children, Wealth, Power, Position And Comforts. His Ignorance Vanishes In The Effulgence Of The ‘Divine Light’Of The Most High, The Lord Of The Entire Universe. In Such An Ecstatically Devotion There Is Neither Pain Nor Sorrow For Him As He Is Overwhelmingly Dedicated To The Will Of The Almighty God. Thus A Sufi Saint Is The Spiritual King, Far Above All Temporal Kings, Disguised In The Patched Robes Of A Humble Dervish.
