In a Sufi gathering I had been invited to by a friend two years ago. One of the attendees has been explaining a quote from an ancient book by a prominent Sufi scholar, when he said, “it means letting go of even letting go”.
When I reflected upon this quote I found it is one of the most precious pearls of wisdom. It creates awareness not cling to detachment as a concept, a task, or a norm that clouds the spiritual experience. It also implies that when moving down the path at some point we have to drop letting go so there is only pure consciousness.
Concepts still important to exchange experiences, to learn about spiritual paths, to raise awareness, to let us know that there is more to life than the physical experience. But, eventually, real experience lies beyond them.

Kidding! :P
It is even better.

Oh damn that’s deep wisdom and so true brother. Let go of attachment to even letting go. Is-ness... 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Yea, Is-ness. It is a great word to describe being present. I used to hear it from Echhart Tolle. 👌
I have always wonder what these sessions are like would be interesting to try one day. It looks about like somatic movement 💯🐒
It had been an esoteric kind of prayer very long time ago. Now it is performed as folkloric dance in Sufi's major celebrations, and by the way it requires a lot of training so as not to lose balance. :)
yer a went out with a muslim girl who was trying to get into it but unfortunately her parents found out we were dating and that was the end of that haha. I have good balance so might give it a go if it crops up around me 💯🐒
She may be a professional dancer now. :), This would be easy, stand up and start spinning, but make sure there is enough space around. :)
Haha who know last I heard she was in Singapore`! I'll give it ago, get quite dizzy but i'll try haha 💯🐒
Emptiness is form, form is emptiness. 🙏
