The Sufi Message
The Sufi Message is the same Light of Wisdom which the Divine Spirit of Guidance has thrown upon the world at all times of need, through all the teachers of humanity, known and unknown to the world.
Aim & Purpose
The aim is for a world movement which opens the heart to wisdom, no matter from which direction it comes, and at the same time learning greater tolerance towards the faith of another.
The solution to the problem of the day is the awakening of the consciousness of humanity to the divinity of man. The undertone of all religions is the realisation of the One Life which culminates in the thought of unity. And it is towards raising humanity to this consciousness that the efforts of the Sufi Movement are directed.
There is a saying: “To understand all is to forgive all,” and it is in accordance with this saying that the Sufi looks upon life. Divine Truth has always been and will be the same. Man divides, but God unites humanity.
More about The Sufi Movement
Some members of the Sufi Movement belong to different religions. They have not left their religion, but have learned to understand it better.
Their love is the love for God and humanity, and not for a particular section of it.
The Object of The Sufi Movement
The Object of the Sufi Movement is the uniting of life and religion, which seem to have been kept so far apart, so that everyday life is transformed and that every action may bear some spiritual fruit.
The Ten Sufi Thoughts
The Sufi beliefs are expressed in The Ten Sufi Thoughts which comprise all the important aspects of the inner life with which man is concerned.
