I may have said this before but it bears repeating.It has been one of the solid pillars of my spiritual path.The first page of the first teaching I received in Islamic Sufism said the following:”In this path we walk on two legs-Shariah and Haqiqat.Translated liberally that means Divine Law and rules ,duality if you wish, and Absolute Consciousness.If you have only the latter which has been the case with numerous”Enlightened” beings you can go seriously astray in behaviour.I don’t think I need to name names for people to be able to reference that.On the other hand, if you have only shariah(rules and rituals) your religion becomes dry and lifeless and may even lead to extremism in order to get some energy going.So you need both.They are complementary and synergistic.Together you get the all-important balance.
