''The Sufi tradition is like a vast garden in which are cultivated many flowers of different scents and colors, each sweet and beautiful, each reflecting one aspect of the garden of paradise, and each with its own particular form.
There are certain Sufi writings that are primarily practical and operative, others that express the metaphysical and cosmological doctrines of the tradition, and yet another group that makes use of parables to convey the message of Sufism. Moreover, although the inner reality of Sufism is everywhere the same, containing and reflecting the very heart of the Islamic message, its modes of expression have taken into consideration the artistic possibilities of the peoples whom they have addressed and the genius of the language they have employed.''
(from the book FAKHRUDIN IRAQI, 'Divine Flashes', Paulist Press 1982)
