Lataif-e-Sitta

The Laṭāʾif (Arabic: اللطائف) are subtle organs of spiritual and psycho-physiological functioning in Sufi psychology.

Depending on context, the Laṭāʾif (plural) are also understood to be the experiential qualities or forms of those functions. (See "other: Laṭā’if (organs) or Laṭā’if (experiences)").

The Arabic word Laṭīfa (singular) means “subtlety” and the phrase Laṭā’if-e-sitta means “six subtleties”, although the number of Laṭāʾif can differ depending on the specific Sufi tradition.

The Laṭāʾif are viewed as aspects of Man's spiritual “Organ of Evolution”, known as Qalb (Heart) (See "other: Qalb (Heart) or Qalb (Laṭīfa)").

Explicit realization of the Laṭāʾif in Qalb is considered by some Sufi orders—especially the Naqshbandi—to be a central part of the comprehensive spiritual development that produces the Sufi ideal of a Complete Human Being (Al-Insān al-Kāmil).
