The most fruitful lesson of Sufi wisdom is, in this respect, that it is by accepting otherness that we become “ourselves” in God. Acceptance is a knowledge of self and God, of God in oneself and the self in God, a door to His Mercy through the recognition of the transcendence of His purposes. It is also, thereby, an acceptance of others, and even more so, a love of others for being God’s witnesses in our life.
