A Dip In the Ocean of Sufism

From whence did we come?

Where are we going?

How do we get there?

These are the questions that have ensconced themselves in the hearts of human beings since the Dawn of Humankind. Sufism, from that very dawn, came to soothe the soul of the seeker and to alleviate his or her suffering in the throes of this worldly life, to relieve the yearning hearts from the distress which pulled them into depression and sadness. The state of the world, always of concern to those who looked beyond their day-to-day living, has always troubled those whose hearts are full of pity and compassion for the lot of humankind, for the Earth and her state, for Nature and its preservation and protection.

The Sufi masters, those Beings of Light and Hope in every time and century, have sought to provide solace and respite, like oases for the thirsty souls seeking comfort and provision for the journey across the desert of this mundane existence. They are like wellsprings, bubbling forth cold, refreshing pure water to quench the eager thirst of the weary travelers on the way. They fulfilled their vows and their responsibilities before the One, accepting to carry the burden of human-ness.

They answered the first question with "from God." They answered the second question with "to God." They answered the third question with "come with me."

Come and sit in association with some of these masters of wisdom and intellect, as they provide soul-soothing answers to the compelling queries of the seekers of love, happiness and peace.
