Vol. 9, The Unity of Religious Ideals

The Universal Worship

Therefore the Sufi has no difficulty either with the worshipper of one God or the worshipper of many gods, because he can see both their points of view. He gives their point of view a place in his life; he sees the natural development of human conception, expanding from the narrow perception to the highest ideal. But if someone asks the Sufi, "You Sufis who tolerate all these different conceptions, what is your own conception?", he says, "There is no such thing as the Sufi conception, although I have my personal conception. The God who is considered by people as the Judge and the Creator, as the Lord of heaven, is to me my Beloved. He is my beloved Ideal who alone deserves all my devotion. He is all the beauty that is to be loved.'
