The present article wants to describe some of the fundamental
principles and modes concerning the path of spiritual self-realization
as outlined by the authorities of Sufism within the Islamic tradition. It
focuses on the individual and cosmological implications which, in the
traditional Sufi world-view, are at the base of the concept of
‘universalization of the individual’ and investigates the role and
relationship that develops and subsists between the accomplished
master and his pupil during this process. The Sufi initiate undergoes
not only a process of transformation, but of sublimation and refinement
of his human dimension in an approach to the divine which, to many
modern Muslims and non-Muslims, may appear as alien and
provocative as it is challenging, since it relies on a wisdom and a
vision more and more unfamiliar for those whose perception of Islam is
increasingly defined by the ‘outer’, purely social and political
dimension of Islam.
