Five Stages of Consciousness
Ennobling the Soul
From these considerations it may be seen that the work of the Sufi is to aim at ennobling the soul. When initiated into the Order we take the path of ennobling the soul - there is no wonder-working, no communication with spirits, no performing of miracles, no developing of magnetic or psychic powers, no clairvoyance or clairaudience, nor anything of the kind.
- The one single aim is to become humane,
- to live a healthy life,
- to try and better the moral conditions of our life,
- to ennoble our character and
- to meet not only our own needs, but also those of our neighbors and friends.
Our work is to try and develop that spark which is in every soul, whose only satisfaction lies in the love of God and in approaching towards God, with the intention of one day having a glimpse of that truth that cannot be spoken of in words.
