[quote="tourbi"][quote]Knowledge has two wings. Conjecture is one wing. Conjecture alone is lacking and cuts short the flight. The one-winged bird continues to struggle, hoping to reach the nest somehow with one wing. And then wisdom shows his shining face. Delivered from conjecture, the bird now spreads both wings (and soars once again).

Sufis are very wise and extremely mystic indeed! Your quote brought back an analogy that was once told to me by a western astrologer friend who is very wise and very deep. He said that the bird of [url=http://www.mysticboard.com/mb-free-daily-mystic-scope]divination[/url] has two wings, logic and intuition. With either one of these wings removed, the bird just flops around going round and round in circles -- and never takes off the ground!

So true!

Love, Light, Levity ...

The Sufi Master I met was amazing.  She left a lasting impression with me.  I remember her vividly.
I read this many times before posting it.  The customers we had who asked for Rumi were also very deep, interesting people.  
Thank you for sharing.
