Spiritual Integrity
Spiritual Integrity is a core value system that allows you to live a life based on principles derived from age-old wisdom. It is experiencing a unity within yourself, harmony in relationships with others and a deep connection with a Higher Authority.
Without principles to guide us, we flounder and fail to realize fulfillment. Pain and loss are inevitable, but when principles are the driving force underlying our actions, we are equipped to offset life's circumstances and challenges.
Integrity (from the teachings of Sufi Masters)
From the perspective of the Sufi masters, one can have spiritual integrity only when one is fully integrated in the Divine Will. True integration in the Divine Will is possible only through the realization of essential identity.
The realization of essential identity can occur only when all idols have been eliminated from one's life. The jettisoning of all idols can take place only by means of a process of initiation in which God takes one by the hand and guides one along the stages of the mystical path.
The process of initiation can be completed only if one's intention to seek God is purified so that one can become a sincere servant of God. The process of purifying intention can be sustained only through the support of Divine love which is transmitted through states of spiritual intoxication.
The most perfect expression of spiritual intoxication is to be engaged, outwardly and inwardly, in living a life of worship that knowingly reflects, according to one's essential capacity, the beauty and majesty of the Divine Names and Attributes. One can be in a condition of perfectly expressing spiritual intoxication only if one is fully integrated into the Divine Will.
According to the Sufi masters, such a person has spiritual integrity.
