Sohbet
Saturdays, 10am – 12noon, Via Zoom
Dear Friends,
Please join us on August 15th, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm for our next sohbet.
The theme we are exploring is the Valley of the Quest. Based on Fariduddin Attar’s Conference of the Birds, this is an opportunity to re-examine the start of our spiritual journey. And the journey always starts again, fresh, unique, exciting and certainly demanding.
It involves Intense seeking, purification of intention, and willingness to abandon comfort.
To enter the Valley of Quest, one must become a genuine seeker. Ordinary desires, habits, ambitions, and attachments are no longer sufficient. The seeker is consumed by a longing for Truth that outweighs concern for comfort, reputation, security, or even spiritual reward.
This is where we leave the campfire behind and embark on a mysterious journey whose nature we know not. The seeker must be willing to abandon inherited assumptions and venture into unknown territory. The road is difficult and uncertain. Many who think they are seekers turn back when faced with sacrifice, loneliness, or confusion. The true seeker perseveres, trusting that the longing itself is a sign of being called.
