Heritage: The ones who renounced all creeds

[Gul Agha <agha@CS.UIUC.EDU>]

"Shah Latif could see that if someone tried to establish Islam in
exclusion of all other religions, that fanatic might as well endeavour
to establish one particular sect of Muslims in exclusion to other
sects.  Although he was a Shi`a [by birth].. he was the spiritual
teacher of both the sects [Shias and Sunnis] as well as of the Hindus.
He used to say that he was neither a Shi`a nor a Sunni, nor a Hindu,
and was all in one.  Though the [many] Sindhi Sufi poets were born in
the religious group of Muslims, they were not bound by any creed.
Each one of them was a Sufi, la-kufi [no creed], non-aligned and sans
any religious dogmas."
