Then there is another way which the Sufis have always taught: to seek the pleasure of one's fellowmen, and that is the very thing that man refuses to do. He is quite willing to seek the pleasure of God, but if one asks him to seek the pleasure of his fellowmen he refuses. In any case, either in seeking the pleasure of his fellowmen or of God, in both he is seeking the pleasure of one and the same being. It all begins very often with resignation.
