The method of the Sufi consists in this: - That the Sufi unites with one's innermost being.
- One's heart is the shrine of one's God and one's body is God's temple.
- The Sufi considers every person not only as one's brother and sister but as oneself.
- At the same time, the Sufi never claims spirituality or goodness.
- Neither does the Sufi judge anyone, except oneself in one's own doings.
- The Sufi's constant attitude towards others is that of love and forgiveness.
- The Sufi's attitude towards God is that one's innermost being is the object of one's worship and the Beloved Whom one loves and admires.
- The Sufi's interest in life is art and beauty, and
- One's task [is] the service of humanity in whatever form possible.
