The teacher

(Quotations from Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee)

Abu Sa`id Ibn Abi-L-Khayr:
Abu Sa'id was asked, "If someone wishes, is it possible to travel the mystic path without a teacher?"

The Sheik replied, "It is impossible because someone is required to guide him along the way..."
(p. 35)

Kalabadhi:
The only guide to God is God Himself.
(p. 45)

Jami:
When it is possible to hear the Beloved speak Himself, why listen to second-hand reports?
(p. 59)
