Now one might ask: "What kind of preparation?" The answer will be: "It is a moral preparation." But not in the sense as we understand in everyday life the word:moral. What we understand is selfish because we judge another with our law instead of considering him with his law. The moral according to the Sufi idea, in this preparation specially, is another thing: it is consideration of the law of friendship, of the relation to one's elder or superior or younger or inferior. Although it is a simple thing to consider friendship, it is most difficult to practice. If one knows the principle of friendship, one does not need the moral of the world. When instead of his own profit and laws, man considers the profit and laws of another, then he begins to see his soul. As long as he sees the other as a separate being different from himself, he will see him wrongly.
