This is the short way. Sufism S ufism is not different from the mysticism of all religions. A river passes through many countries and each claims it for its own. But there is only one river. Truth does not change.
People try to possess truth and keep it for themselves, keep it from others.
But you cannot own the truth. The path of sufism is the elimination of any intermediaries between the individual and God. The goal is to act as an extension, not to be a barrier. To be a dervish is to serve and to help others, not just to sit and pray. To be a real dervish is to lift up those who have fallen, to wipe the tears of the suffering, to caress the friendless and the orphaned.
