But to a part of your question, how it can be applied to the practical life, I will answer that in Sufism, the central theme of our esoteric working is practicing, so to speak, the Presence of God. But in metaphysical terms it may be called, "to keep before one's view reality", in spite of the continual illusions which come before us from morning till evening. Those who tread this path, whatever be their method, we respect it, we consider they are treading the same path that we are. As to the name, we must call ourselves something, if we did not have a name, someone would give us one.
