If you really want to learn, do not be surprised if someone tries to teach you. And do not lightly reject the method.
~ Idries Shah
The Sufi teacher’s mission is to be in the service of those who can learn.
The teacher works in accordance with the prospects of his students and the possibility of maintaining the community of Sufis.
Ibn El-Arabi wrote, ‘The Teacher is he who hears you, then unveils you to yourself
The selection and following of a spiritual guide is the most important duty of a Sufi.
Those who say ‘I am ready to learn’, or ‘I am not ready to learn’ are as often mistaken as they are correct in their surmise.
Sufi Teachers are not, as you might hope, people who make you feel peace and harmony.
Love The Way Love, Loves You
~ Syed Sharukh
