What mysticism and spirituality mean to me.
Well, as a self-proclaimed Sufi, mystic in the ways of religion:
An ancient legend has it that when God was creating the world, He was approached by 4 angels.
The first one asked, "How are you doing it?"
The second, "Why are you doing it?"
The third, "Can I be of any help?"
The fourth, "What is it worth?"
The first was a scientist; the second a philosopher; the third an altruist; and the fourth, a real-estate agent.
A fifth angel watched in wonder and applauded in sheer delight. This one was the mystic.
