A crime because we get up to such malfeasance all the time, at the lower end of it, and a crime at the higher end in the sense that the Sufis often mention, that any existence of theirs before Allah ta'ala, any flake or residue of their self-ness, is a crime, a flaw, an obstruction before the Light of God. Only when you have known a saint (wali) of whatever spiritual practice do you the sense of a personality honed to its finest before the divine consciousness, whose actions and words and thoughts are soaked in divinity to such a degree that the person is truly human in its essence and effaced before God in His ever-present and infinitely Merciful activity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecstatic Exchange","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47601695391895,"sku":"9780578082936","price":1304.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780578082936.webp?v=1775010679","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/holiday-from-the-perfect-crime-poems-9780578082936","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
