A Sufi who looses his personality!
1st level of Sufi "Do not consider your identification as you are seem, it is the 1st level of sufi. Sufi means a human which is cleaning the errors and darkness of humans' inner world. Consider a weakness person than all creations of God. Sufi does not consider a best self than Dog. He loves human being and all creations of God. His strongly aim or we can say spiritual aim is this he wants observation of God. He lives for God and also dies. A person will meet the sufi, this might be react of sufi. Sufi meets him like he wants to meet with God, meets as that person is beloved of him. There is appearing an attraction on the face of real sufi. When sad attacks on sufi, he smiles because about the thought of sufi, sad or pain is the gift of God. He thinks for the cause of Sad or sorrow God will bless him very close. If Sufi is sick, consider that He is under the remember of God. Common human remember God with tounge and Sufi remembers God with his loveful and painful heart. He wants to make his heart just like mirror and in the effulgent mirror he wants to observe the holy and unlimited light of God. He always say to God that "Although you hatred me from your door never I will leave your door, It is observation for me although you do not reply me, I looked other doors but you are only you" 2nd Level of Sufi
