E verything in the world of existence has an end and a goal. The end is maturity, and the goal is freedom. For example, the fruit grows on the tree until it is ripe and then falls. A farmer sows grain in the ground and tends it. It begins to grow, eventually seeds, and again becomes grain. It has returned to its original form. The circle is complete. Completing the circle of existence is freedom. quote 2873 | Others Sufis Teaching Nasafi, Essential Sufism, by James Fadiman & Robert Frager, Harper SanFrancisco, p.53
