What is Sufism Sufi Masters teach that he does not know Love is as if he had not been born, because what gives life to human beings not of the body but originates in your heart. You can see the lover and you can see the beloved, but you can not see Love. And you can not see it, because although it is there, it is something that is in the body, without the body, it is something that is there, but it is invisible, because the lover and the beloved are of this world, but Love is otherworldly. Thus Sufism is the art of entering another world, through this life. Source: Revista del Plata Summit
