Imagine if you had a job, and your boss sent you somewhere to accomplish a specific task. And when you got there, you got involved in about ninteen other things and came back and then told the boss, “Well, I did this…this…and this, but I didn’t do what you had asked me to do. If the boss wanted that one thing done and that was the most important thing to him, what’s the use of the other things that you’d have accomplished? What was the reason that you did those other things as opposed to what you had been asked to do? What was it that put you in the direction to do what came to you as opposed to what you were told to do?
All of us who have read mystical tracts and who’ve been around Sufism know that Allah created man so that He could be known. Now, that’s a direct imperative. We were created so that He could be known, yet what is it that we’re doing here?
