"Whatever you are looking for, do not search on the outside, find it in yourself." This statement of a Sufi master characterizes precisely the ideas of Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam. The Sufis' most important concern is the search for the deep, passionate love of God. Many rules associated particularly with the fundamentaIist interpretation of lslam do not appIy to them. Their "heart" is said to be the Turkish city of Konya, the home of the dancing dervishes and of the most famous representative of this religion, Mevlana CeIaleddin i Rumi, who is said to have inspired the dance of the whirIing dervishes. |
