Finally I asked my friend Judy, who spent many years as a student of Sufism and who embodies fana—the self-annihilating love of God—as well as anyone I know. When I asked her to define spirituality for me, she thought for a moment and said, ‘Spirituality is the active pursuit of the God you didn’t make up.’ I loved that. I also did not know what it meant.
