mukhlas vs mukhlis

the one whose sincerity is permanent is the mukhlas.

the one whose sincerity is not permanent and who has to strive for it, he is mukhlis.

what a difference between the two!

sufiway

the sufi tariqah and haqiqah are subservient to the syariah. they are meant to produce sincerity which is one of the three parts of the syariah - the other two being faith and action.

btw.. real sincerity is not possible without pursuing sufi sayr and suluk and attaining fana and baqa.
