so-so; mathematics is the only perfect science. How can a perfect scientist become a sufi?
But now you can understand how it happened. When you come to the extreme point of your reason, and if you are still available, not closed -- if you have not concluded, this way or that way, if you have not yet become a theist or an atheist, if you still have the awareness that reason remains inconclusive -- then you will be taken in by his presence.
