A well-known Sufi tradition attributes to the prophet a saying : "He who knows the self knows the Lord". Of Abū Yazīd it is recorded that he said : "I sloughed off my self as a snake sloughs off its skin; then I looked into my self, and lo, I was He".¹ Religion, it is said, springs from the great 'I am' in each 'me'. The fountains are within.
