Dear Friends
I have just returned from a ‘traditional’ Sufi Muslim gathering that was conducted in English. Quite frankly it was intellectual torture particularly when blind faith was being invoked to justify an argument.
As I looked around the hall I could see and feel the spiritual hunger however the ‘Shaykh’ was so out of touch. He was not preparing / inspiring young people for the big bad world where simple albeit satisfying piety will not actualise a successful life.
Kids have to be prepared to face if not relish socio-economic-spiritual challenges which will test their mettle and ensure their passage into (wo)manhood and allow them to make a meaningful contribution to the world. And possibly roll forward the great ball of truth...
On the other hand one could argue that seeds were being planted that may sprout in the future. However the bottle has to change...otherwise the lush and primordial wine will not be enjoyed...
