“It’s best to call Sufism a way of experiencing reality as love itself.” ~ Neil Douglas-Klotz
“Islam and Sufism are one. Teaching that to understand Islam one must be a lover, how can one understand Islam when the heart is empty of love?” ~ Zarina Bibi
“Sufism is about connecting with the intuitive parts of ourselves so that we can attune to the highest vibration in the universe, which is pure love. It’s about joining together in the mystical heart.” ~ Charlotte Karl
“Sufism is experience, and hence not to be defined …” ~ Idries Shah
