Sufism is a way to God through love... a general definition of Sufism is:
Sufism is a path towards the Truth where there are no provisions except Love. Its method is to look solely in one direction, and its objective is God.
The sufi is one who moves towards the Truth by means of love and devotion. Since only one who is perfect is capable of realizing the Truth, sufis strive their utmost for perfection.
Perfection in this sense means being in harmony with the Divine Nature, which is the goal of the sufi path.
The Nimatullahi Sufi Order is one of the authentic Sufi Orders active in the modern day. The present Master of the Nimatullahi Order is Dr. Alireza Nurbakhsh, as designated by the authority of Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh.
