My sufiyana andaz… journey in sufi style.
By meditating on the pir, the murshid gets enlightened; the master’s energy is transmitted to the disciple, says sufi singers.

Sufis believe in complete transformation. The first step to change is Zikr-e-Khafi, the recitation of any name of God in the heart — Kalb. The heart is so important to the Sufi concept of being, that concentrating on it makes it easier for the young initiate to change his way of life.

To quote Swami Vivekanand: “Concentration on the heart is not meditation; it is a call on the Divine.” The Sufi emphasis on ikhlaq or conduct flows from their sense of the sanctity of the inner life. The Sufis believe that it is better to be in the company of a worldly person whose conduct is good than in the company of a fakir who is far from exemplary.
Sufi follows what is called guru shishya parampara ….

The Sufi respects his guru. The pir-murshid relationship is divine. The pir is the medium through whom voice of God manifests for the murshid. The flow of force, twajeh, from him transforms the seeker; he is completely transformed.

By being in the presence of such a master, the seeker acquires his attributes; it is believed that he becomes fana or extinct and finally attains communion with the master. The outcome is the death of the disciple and the birth of an enlightened one. By meditating on the pir, the disciple becomes enlightened; he becomes a master in his own right.

Sufi teaches godliness, love, compassion, forgiveness, wisdom and sense of selfless .

It is this belief that man can overcome the baser passions and temptations and rise to an awareness of his higher nature which impels the Sufis to declare in a spirit of paradox: “It may take time to be a man, but it does not take any time to be God.”
