Sufis: The People of the Path : Singing Silence

Osho introduces the spirit of Sufism in a unique way : "A Sufi need not be a Mohammedan. A sufi can exist anywhere, in any form-because sufism is the essential core of all religions. "Sufism makes a religion vibrant. Sufism simply means a love affair with God, with the ultimate, a love affair with the whole. It means that one is ready to dissolve into one's heart. It knows no formality, it is not confined by any dogma, doctrine, creed or church. Christ is a Sufi, so is Mohammad. Krishna is a Sufi, so is Buddha. This is the first thing you should remember. That Sufism is the innermost core-as Zen is, as Hassidism is. These are only different names of the same ultimate relationship with God.
