THE INTELLECTUAL, AND THE STRUCTURALIST QUEST FOR GNOSIS

This type of fragmentary deployment of Sufi cosmological images is quite usual in the literature on Sufism. It tends to disguise the deep structural logic of Sufism, interrupting it with flowery, highly elaborate poetical and ethical interpretations. It was thus unusual to meet a Sufi dedicated to showing the highly systematic logic of Sufi cosmology as expounded by Sirhindi and others. Indeed, it was the chance meeting with this self-conscious structuralist which first enticed me as an anthropologist to study Sufism and Sufi orders.
