Mystics of all ages have been known not for their miraculous powers or for the doctrines they have taught, but for the devotion which they have shown throughout their lives. The Sufi in the East says to himself, Ishq Allah, Ma'bud Lillah , which means, "God is love, God is the Beloved"; in other words, it is God who is Love, Lover, and Beloved. When we hear the stories of the miraculous powers of mystics, of their great insight into the hidden laws of nature, of the qualities which have manifested through their beautiful personality, we realize that these have all come from one and the same source, whether one calls it devotion or calls it love.
