“Sufism is the modern form of Gnosis, the secret knowledge passed down from the ancients…the Zoroastrians, the old Hindu yogis, the Platonists, and the Essenes, the followers of the secret path having continued up to the present time under diverse mystical appellations, with tenets modified by the ages within which they live. The form the ‘archetype’ of existence, a regular system of spiritual creation.”
--Sir Richard Francis Burton
