It is in this that the Sufi finds the secret of mastery; that besides all the idea of fate and worldly influences and heavenly influences, there is a creative power in man which works. In one person, perhaps, the creative faculty of his being is at work one degree, and the mechanical part of his being is at work ninety-nine degrees. In another person who is more evolved, ninety-nine degrees of creative power may be at work and perhaps one degree of the mechanical part of his being.
