Title : Sufis, Mystics and Yogis of IndiaIn this book, the author talks about the Formless form worship of the Lord under three sub-divisions: Sufism, Advait, Nirakar and Shabda Upasana. Main emphasis is given to worship of His attributes - Vibhuti Upasana.
Under this, the upasak is content with merging his personality into the Divine personality, wherein he imagines he loses his individuality as a drop in the ocean.The aspects of the Divinity that are the subject of worship are broadly two: the worship of the Divine Personality, the Form ( Madhurya Vibhutiman) and the Divine Attributes inclusive of His Omniscient (vyapak) Formless aspect (Aishwarya Vibhuti). The Vedas leaned more towards the Formless aspect of the Lord but Bhagavad Gita emphasised the Form of the Lord.
It is this Impersonal form of worship that is pursued by the Sufis, Christians, Advaits, Nirakarvadis and Shabdmargins and the mystics in the East and the West.
