Because what narrow thinkers imagine to be wisdom is often seen by the Sufis to be folly, the Sufis sometimes call themselves ‘the Idiots.’ The stories of these self-styled “idiots” are in fact skillfully designed exercises in which the movements of the characters portray psychological processes. The result is a working blueprint of the mind.
