Text:1
The relation of individual Sufis to Islam varies from more or less entire conformity to a merely nominal profession of belief in Allah and His Prophet. While the Koran and the Traditions are generally acknowledged to be the unalterable standard of religious truth,
this acknowledgment does not include the recognition of any external authority which
shall decide What is orthodox and what is heretical. Creeds and catechisms count for nothing in the Sufi's estimation. Why should he concern himself with these when he possesses a doctrine derived immediately from God? As he reads the Koran with studious meditation and rapt attention, lo, the hidden meanings--infinite, inexhaustible--of the Holy Word flash upon his inward eye.
This is what the Sufis call istinbat, a sort of intuitive deduction; the mysterious inflow of divinely revealed knowledge into hearts made pure by repentance and filled with the thought of God, and the outflow of that knowledge upon the interpreting tongue. Naturally, the doctrines elicited by means of istinbat do not agree very well either with Mohammedan theology or with each other, but the discord is easily explained Theologians, who interpret the letter, cannot be expected to reach the same conclusions as mystics, who interpret the spirit; and if both classes differ amongst themselves, that is a merciful dispensation of divine wisdom, since theological controversy serves to extinguish religious error, while the variety of mystical truth corresponds to the manifold degrees and modes of mystical experience.

The Sufi ideal of poverty goes far beyond this. True poverty is not merely lack of wealth, but lack of desire for wealth: the empty heart as well as the empty hand. The 'poor man' (faqir) and the 'mendicant' (dervish) are names by which the Mohammedan mystic is proud to be known, because they imply that he is stripped of every thought or wish that would divert his mind from God. "To be severed entirely from both the present life and the future life, and to want nothing besides the Lord of the present life and the future life-- that is to be truly poor." Such a fadir is denuded of individual existence, so that he does not attribute to himself any action, feeling, or quality. He may even be rich, in the common meaning of the word, though spiritually he is the poorest of the poor; for, sometimes, God endows His Saints with an outward show of wealth and worldliness in order to hide them from the profane.
14. This passage is mainly dealing with (the)................... - a. characteristics of Sufis b. Sufis outward wealth c. poverty in Sufi ideology d. life after death according to Sufis 15. The underlined word 'stripped' in the passage is close in meaning to ............ - a. connected b. detached C. occupied d. filled 16. Wealth and worldliness are introduced in the passage as two.......... CaSeS. a. contrasting b. Similar C. opposing d. irrelevant 17. The underlined word 'attribute' in the passage is similar in meaning to............. - a. relate b. request c. retard d. resurrect
18. What does the writer mean by the last sentence in the passage? a. An outward show of wealth could be conducive to spirituality. b. Wealth, in any form could be harmful.
c. Rich people cannot understand real poverty d. God may exclude someone from real wealth.
