The
English language is often inedequate when it comes to describing spiritual
states of mind. Sohbet, in Sufism, is a spiritual transaction between
teacher and student which relies on ancient oral storytelling traditions
and practices. Mystical knowledge and Devotional Love is transmitted
during Sohbet in such a way that it attempts to circumvent the knots
of the rational mind and connect the hearts of the seekers. Sohbet can
be undersood as a spiritual dialogue, a cleansing of the soul and a
meeting of the hearts. From the metaphysical to the very physical, Sohbets
help us reflect on the events of our everyday lives and guide us in
our search for a sense of unity and security.
