The Buddha is largely steeped in mind stealing practices and not so much answers, but it's sort of like, the big problem is assumed that you just can't see clearly enough. And I think for Ghazali, it's really important wisdom resides with God, period. We quiet the self in part so that in that moment of stillness, we might be able to hear the voice of God. But there's also a real disagreement there too about when we get quiet,. When we clear the stage of our minds, who or what are we waiting to appear?
