Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 > BTW in some sufi traditions Allah is seen as > Beloved! In this case we > can say Allah is Shakti... All sufi traditions refer to God as Beloved. Sufism has no religion- is not necessarily mystical aspect of Islam only. There are hindu sufis, jain sufis, christian sufis, ect. The naqshbandi order are the silent ones. The master creates love in the shishya's heart- a fire that consumes the ego. They do japa with the mantra "la il lillah" or il la illallah" (there is only Allah...). It is quite a beautiful practice, and a beautiful tradition. Worth looking into, especially for those with strong bhakti. pranams, Brianna Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions./design_giveaway/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
