To a Sufi, to be a mureed, a disciple, is a thing quite different from being a student. A student adds to his knowledge of the names and forms of this world the knowledge of things and beings, but the disciple does not add anything to his knowledge of the names and forms of this world. In the East they do not enter upon this path to acquire psychic power, to become very magnetic so as to make others do their will or to work wonders, to look into things unseen or to communicate with spirits. All these things are curiosities. If anyone has an interest in them he goes to the juggler, the magicians. There are some of these in every street. They come from the low classes, the low castes. They are very ignorant, but certainly they are very powerful.
