Sufism is not a religion or a philosophy, it is neither deism nor atheism, nor is it a moral, nor a special kind of mysticism, being free from the usual religious sectarianism. If ever it could be called a religion, it would only be as a religion of love, harmony, and beauty.

Therefore it is the law of the mystics to see all things, to experience all things, either of heaven or earth, and yet to say little for the souls incapable of understanding the possibility of their reach will ridicule them.
