Sufi - definition of Sufi in Encyclopedia (2646 words)
Sufis believe that their teachings are the essence of every religion, and indeed of the evolution of humanity as a whole.
The Sufi cosmology is not a uniform and coherent doctrine.
Some Sufis consider under the term "Nafs" the entirety of psychological processes, encompassing whole mental, emotional and volitional life; however, the majority of Quranic-based Sufis are of the opinion that Nafs is a "lower", egotistical and passionate human nature which, along with Tab (literally, physical nature), comprises vegetative and animal aspects of human life.
