It is apparent to me why my murshid takes the form of a mockingbird. He was a great musician after all!

Also the very message of Sufism, to seek God in the heart of man. One of its principles- a tolerance for all religions. This bird is able to produce the very essence of other birds- mimicking their song. All paths lead to the One. Yogananda says true religion is ones intuition! Here in one bird is my murshid able to reach to the hearts of many- by reaching to them in notes they are accustomed- each note, as true as the other! Leading me to God! My heart is lifted with understanding and appreciation! Thank you Lord! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

"Mockingbirds are best known for their ability to mimic other birds. They continue to add songs to their repertoire throughout their lives. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a male mockingbird may learn 200 songs in his lifetime. In addition to bird songs, mockingbirds have been heard to mimic frogs, insects and even non-animal noises."
