Sohbet this Tuesday, 9/8

Remember we will be meeting this Tuesday, Sept.8 at 6:30. Please come!

Sohbet
"Mystical conversation on mystical subjects"
from The Essentail Rumi by Coleman Barks p. 76

We will gather at the Shalem Center
881 High Street, Suite 206. Worthington, OH 43085

On the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month
Aug. 11 & 25, Sept. 8 & 22, Oct. 13 & 27
From 6:30-8:00

The focus during this next season will be Kashf, or insight.

“The word Kashf means 'opening,' and it is used by the Sufis with
meaning that the heart is, as a rule, a closed book and the one to
whom it becomes open can read it like an open book…What gives one
insight into another is, in the first place, his sympathy. The seer
first develops the quality of love. He whose heart is kindled with the
love of God is capable of the love of humanity.” Hazrat Inayat Khan

We will begin with the prayers of Hazrat Inayat Khan, followed by the
elemental breaths and a 20 min. meditation. Then we will focus on the
'gathas,' sacred writings from Inayat Khan with commentary by Samuel
Lewis. These will be accompanied by wazifas, ryazat and sohbet.
