Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune: — Sufism

"Sufism on its theosophical side is mainly a product of Greek speculation."

"The distinctiveness of consists in the “sanctification” of work, which plays an equally, if not more important, role than meditation and prayer. Through this spirituality of work, [Ahmadou Bamba Mbacké (1853–1927)] inserted an authentically African element into Sufism, and at the same time exposed himself to criticism and reservations especially from circles."

"Love is the ark appointed for the righteous, Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape. Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment intuition."

"Sufism has existed on the territory of what is now Kazakhstan for more than a [millennium]. It was largely suppressed by the Soviets, but it was reintroduced largely by ethnic Kazakhs returning from abroad, and now is growing because of its ability to adapt to new conditions, [Kazakh sociologist of religion] Aygerim Temirbayeva says."

"Their mystical path is the path of Love which ends with the realization of the absolute unification with the Reality."

"He that is purified by Love is pure (Safi), and he who is purified by the Beloved in Sufi."
