The Lover and the Beloved...

"Bhai Sahib means elder brother, because traditionally the Sufi sheikh is 'without a face, without a name.'

Sufis do not believe in personality worship, or in idealizing the teacher.

The teacher is just a guide, a stepping stone from the world of illusion to the world of reality."

"Sufis are lovers of God;

they live the truth that in the whole of the universe there are only two,

the lover and the Beloved:

'He loves them and they love Him."
