1. Sufis are known as “travelers” or “wayfarers on the mystical path,” following the saying of the Prophet, “Be in this world as if you are a traveler, a passerby, with your clothes and shoes full of dust.” We are like tramps, not in the sense that we wear old clothes, but in the sense that we have no real home in this world because we belong somewhere else. We follow the will of God and not the ways of the world.
2. Spiritual life is a response to a call. Of our own accord we would never turn away from the world and begin the long and painful journey home. But Someone calls to us, calls to us from within the depths of our heart, awakening our own deepest longing.
