When there is trust in God, there can be no defeat. When one is bound by one's conception of God, when one limits God by one's human conception, one's trust is necessarily limited. To increase the scope of trust one must find a greater being in whom to trust, and if this being is limited by human thought, then trust is limited. Besides, one who has not trusted one's human kin does not know the meaning of trust. How can such a one trust in God?
The Sufis, beginning with God, placing God beyond conception, put all their trust in the Living Reality, then assure themselves of that trust and faith and by it are able to overcome all difficulties.
No one is unable to do this; the Spirit of Guidance within will lead one forth from every discomfort. This proves the great wisdom of God.
Sufis, through their spiritual exercises, remove the path and shadow of nufs which always hinders success.
