El principal problema es que la mayoría de los comentaristas están acostumbrados a considerar a las escuelas espirituales como “sistemas”, más o menos similares, y que dependen del dogma y el ritual: en especial de la repetición y la aplicación de presiones continuas y uniformes sobre sus seguidores.
El camino sufi, excepto en formas degeneradas que no deben clasificarse como súficas, difiere totalmente de eso.
