"They went into deep meditation and mystical communion,
he and his friends. For such people
a persons presence is more to learn from
than a book. A sufis book is not composed
with ink and alphabet. A scholar lives, and lives on,
the marks of a pen. A sufi loves footprints!
He sees those and stalks his game. At frist, he sees
the clues. After a time he can follow the scent.
To be guided by fragrance is a hundred times better
than follow tracks. A person who is opening
to the divine is like a door to a sufi".
