The Sufi thinks that the first thing which is necessary for man in life is to prove to his own conscience to what extent he can be human. It is not only a spiritual development, it is the culture of humanity:

• in what relation man stands to his neighbor or friend,
• to those who depend upon him and those who look up to him,
• to strangers unknown to him;
• how he stands with those younger than himself and with older people,
• with those who like him and others who dislike him and criticize him;
• how he should feel and think and act through life, and yet keep on progressing towards the goal which is the goal for every soul in the world.
