1 " The more routine that systematised activities are, the more nearly they are of the monotonous character seen in the habits of social animals and the less necessary are master builders; the more novel actions are, the more necessary are master builders. Dislike of the leader and the promoter, though linked emotionally to progressivism, is linked logically to total conservatism. Conversely, an authoritarian approach, natural enough in the instigator of new activities, is unjustified in the mere overseer of routines. "

2 " Sufism is always systematised only for limited or transitory periods: because Sufism is primarly instrumental, not for enjoyment or display. "
― Idries Shah , Neglected Aspects of Sufi Study
