Sufism is fascinating. Doris Lessing was very engaged by it and I have been so impressed by her mind, What I like about the Sufi approach as approached by Idries Shah, is the opportunity for the universality of a spiritual teaching to be embraced by anyone, anywhere. It is like being with a real teacher, someone who you genuinely learn a life skill from. Lasting, having meaning. Like any genre, it is perceived differently by different recipients.
If you have the time, you should write a post on how Sufism relates to you. I’m sure people would be interested. It’s a much better way to understand a philosophy than trying to get through academic explanations of it.

One of the very great mystics of all time. Makes me wish I could read Persian. Or understand Sufism.
“What was said to the rose that made it open was said
to me here in my chest.”
