You see Sufism and yoga are one and the same thing. They are just words, in wisdom there is no difference. All the teachings are absolutely the same. They are only different paths to the One. Our teacher used to say, "You can approach the top of the mountain from the river, from the highway, from the town, from the sea, but it will always be one top of the mountain." It doesn't matter, and also this wonderful Sufi saying, "The roads to God are as many as human beings, as many as the breath of the children of man." He said that to us, it was an ancient Sufi saying and it means you don't need to convert anybody. You don't need to say my God is better than your God. Like in Ireland, that I will kill you if you don't believe in my God, what rubbish is that! There is only that Infinite, Nameless, and you cannot imprison it by giving it any name at all.
