Now I would like to say a few words on what we call mysticism. Mysticism is a means to an end. Mysticism is not the goal, but through it one arrives at the goal. If you ask me: "What is Sufism, is it a philosophy, is it mysticism?", The answer is: "It is both." This evening I would like to speak a few words on the mystic side of Sufism. The mystic side of Sufism may be recognized as seeing and as hearing. To see further than one sees, to hear keener than one hears. In other words: to see what the eyes cannot see, to hear what the ears cannot hear.
