HE is a Master who may teach without it being totally labelled teaching; HE is a student who can learn without being obsessed by learning.

The Sufi is one who does what others do – when it is necessary. He is also one who does what others cannot do – when it is indicated.

Sufism is transmitted by means of the human exemplar, the teacher.

StagesFirst I thought that a Teacher must be right in all things. Then I imagined that my teacher was wrong in many things. Then I realised what was right and what was wrong.What was wrong was to remain in either of the first two stages. What was right was to convey this to everyone.(Ardabili)

When the Higher Man does something worthy of admiration, it is an evidence of his Mastership, not the object of it.
