The purpose of the Sufi Movement is to work towards unity. Its main object is to bring humanity, divided as it is into so many different sections, closer together in the deeper understanding of life. It is a preparation for a world service, chiefly in three ways.

1. One way is the philosophical understanding of life;
2. another is bringing about brotherhood among races, nations, and creeds;
3. and the third way is the meeting of the world's greatest need, which is the religion of the day.
