– About organisation:

“Sometimes the followers of our Way express the wish that things should be more organized; but our organization is a higher organization, not like manmade ways. The difference is like that of a forest existing naturally on the mountainside with its trees growing at irregular intervals, and of a forest planted by men, with all the trees standing uniformly spaced in neat and straight rows. Although to man’s eye the natural forest may seem chaotic, the ecological balance and subtle organization is real — perhaps much more so than in the planted forest. Which forest is lovelier and has a more calming effect on the soul? I think most people would find the natural one more pleasing.”  Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Al-Haqqani An-Naqshibandi (MERCY OCEANS’ PINK PEARLS- 1983)
