There is famous story told by Molana Rumi (RA);
One went to the door of the Beloved and knocked. A voice asked ‘who is there?’ He answered, ‘It is I’. The voice said, ‘There is no room for You and Me.’ The door was shut. After a year of solitude and deprivation, he returned and knocked. A voice within asked, ‘who is there? The man said, ‘It is YOU’. The voice said, ‘Come in..', the door was opened’.
Similarly there is a famous saying وف Hazrat Ali (AS) ، " one who tries to find his own self، will be able to find God".
Man as the vice grant of God، is the crown of creation and represents divine wisdom. Thus exploring one'own self, a journey deep inside the heart and soul may help us to identify our True Self. That is why every mystic tradition in every religion has considered this exploration the most important.
A book named 'Minhaaj ul Abideen" Written by Imam Ghazali translated in Urdu and English, is one of the best on this topic.
