Many times people place much undue importance to a Shaykh's "authority" "greatness". Who decides this? What are the objectives of Tasawwuf? What are the right questions we need to be asking? Does it matter how many Mureeds the Shaykh has? Or what titles he has?

Here is an excellent introduction to Tasawwuf which covers the core objectives of this path which Shaykh Kamaluddin Sahib db delivered in Cambridge University - click on the one titled "Tazkiyah & Tasawwuf" http://www.islamicspirituality.org/city/cambridge

The audio discusses how to seek a Shaykh. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking/connected - in fact I can't stress it enough as it is a very concise and comprehensive covering of the topic with no excesses. It is simply Tasawwuf and it is spelt out from a master of this science.

I heard (paraphrase) Shaykh Kamaluddin Sahib db say once that his Shaykh, Hazrat Shaykh Zulfiqar Sahib db say "nowadays people are simply not satisfied with just a Rumi...they seek Shams Tabriz"
