The word Sufi, although it comes from a Greek root which means "wisdom", has yet another meaning, which is from the Arabic, and that is "pure." One often wonders what this purity implies. In our everyday life we have corrupted many words, and we interpret such words according to our own understanding; thus many of us speak of goodness as purity, while others call moral character purity. But to a mystic purity means something quite different.
