Is there then an even deeper, transcendent or esoteric form of pilgrimage inner and outer travel undertaken with wisdom and understanding. It may appear outwardly to be much like the exoteric and mesoteric but here the inner and outer aspects of the journey fuse together. Esoteric travel transcends religious bias and is not concerned with the merits of this or that sacred site. It is not concerned with whether or not the saint was really Hindu or Moslem. It is not affected by politics or factionalism nor swayed by legends, hearsay or rumor.

He or she understands what the enabling energies of baraka and k aif are. Stories abound of miraculous happenings when the dutiful pilgrim waits patiently at the shrine of a long since departed Master. It seems there is a cosmic purpose to this kind of travel. There is a higher action at work, higher than one s personal desire for spiritual well-being. The less concerned one is with personal desires the more possible it is to receive this enabling energy.
