Yes, it's totality. But can't be known. As long as you're involved with things, and things with you, there is that involvement, and that is your reality while it seemingly persists. Of course a Sufi saying will say something like that (above), because Sufism is something to be involved in. And Sufism gives a form for those involved to be involved with. And Sufism gives practices, naturally, that give Sufism its form. Sayings from isms are things to be involved with, to figure out, to use to guide you. As long as you are looking to have that involvement, with something to guide, something to give a direction. - Dan - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
