Sufism can be a bit difficult to define. That's what's so great about it!

It's not a system you can study and master from books or communicate directly with words. It could be compared to taking a plunge into unknown waters. That might sound a bit intimidating, but imagine how refreshing it feels after taking an afternoon swim. It's not that different from exploring Sufism! If you want to learn how to swim, you need to spend time in the water practicing. You won't get very far if all you do is read about swimming in your spare time.

Sufism has taken many forms in various cultures and times, but it's the thread of mystical knowledge experienced directly by a spiritual practitioner that's important, rather than specific forms. The discovery of Sufism is ultimately a process of discovery — plunging into our longing to know the truth of our being and seeing where it takes us.
