Anandaom Blog Sufi Path of the Heart

Sufis are the seekers of the Truth. Sufism is a path of love to spiritual enlightenment. The Sufi notion of love embraces the entire universe and the creation. Sufis seek to transcend the intellectual knowledge attributed to the workings of the mind, and enter into the oneness through the heart. Sufis believe that a direct, personal experience of Divine could be achieved by practicing meditation and by leading a simple life. The practice and tradition of Sufism is about developing a deeper understanding about the nature of reality, abandoning our self-centered egotistical ways and embracing unity. Within Sufi traditions, meditation and prayer frequently take the form of singing, dancing, poetry, or other forms of artistic expression.
