Hazrat Shams Tabrez R.A Knowing these people (perfect adepts) is more difficult then knowing God. It is possible to know God by reasoning. Have you seen a wood carving? There must have been a carver. It certainly did not carve itself. But these people, who look like you outwardly, are different within. To know a wood carver is easy, but what about that carver [perfect adept] ? What about his glory? What about his being infinite? Only these people know all that, but never do they speak of it. We infer God ’s existence through his creation, but only Sheikhs (MURSHID) can truly know Sheikhs.
