Gems from a number of well known sufis. Reading some of the main ideas of these thinkers on issues of faith and the way to the Almighty is an eye opener. When compared to the heavy handed approach of some believers, the sufis approach seemed so simple. They emphasise the basics. The religion is stripped of all encrumbances and the bond between man and his Maker is taken to another level. We are reminded that He is the one that must be with us throughout our lives. Never deviate from that principle. Some might say they are deviating but for the most part they are true to the One. At least they do not claim theirs to be the only correct way to salvation. There are so many different paths towards the same goal. Alas, those who do not agree with your way tend to be those in power. Those in power in turn are intolerant of those who disagree with the established points of view. The struggle continues.
