All these people complaining don't understand that this is worship, this is god, forget what the books and prophets say, this connection where the human soul elevates to something divine is what it's all about. Beautiful, raw, magnificent.

Bu gösteriye verilen olumsuz tepki ve linç konusunda ülkem adına utanç duyuyorum. Özür dileriz Ziya.

Kendi Anlatımıyla : Bahsi geçen Dervish In Progress (Gelişmekte olan Derviş) isimli performansımda bir arınma öyküsü anlatmaktayım. Hayatta giyindiğimiz kimliklerden kurtulmayı, kalbi ve ruhu arındırmayı; özetle kabuk içinde kabuk olan benliğin çıplaklaşma uğraşını sergileyen bir danstır bu. Şovun sonunda (ölümü temsilen) eteğin altında kalışım da, bu uğraşın mezara kadar sürmesi gerektiğini ima eder. “Düne ilişkin ne varsa dünde kaldı cancağzım, bugün yeni şeyler söylemek lâzım” der Celaleddin-i Rumi. Tabi ki Anlayana :/

[@hecermammadzade5938]

There is a concept in Buddhism he is like riding on a wheel of samsara , suffering (dukha) and letting go of cravings ( tanha) and attachment ,detaching from material world and reaching Nirvana. Also i think making rounds can increase DMT in the brain which usually causes awakenings

[@aestheticman2662]

@@ccsunnie D. Drybread is not talking about the dancer-whoever he is, we don't care-but the meaning of "whirling" in Sufi philosophy. You, the dancer, and everybody else need to understand that what Sufis do is NOT considered dance. If you guys know the Sufi philosophy, you would understand the whole phenomenon.

[@easilyentertained115]

@@aestheticman2662 As a Sufi myself, 1) Does the misunderstanding negate this performance? Genuinely curious. 2) I suppose I understand the frustration, but having an expectation that everybody needs to understand the whole "phenomenon" as you say, negates the sheer...infinitude... of it. We are all One. It's not my place to judge.

Dönmeyince gezegenler yaşam bitiyor.İnsan da öyle döne döne, savrularak bitiyor hayatımız... Üzerimizi de bir avuç toprak örtüyor... 🥀

[@zeenaeem1]

I’m pretty sure these dances are in praise and amazement of Almighty God. Taking his shirt off and dancing the way he does brings a lot of attention to himself and his physical attributes. May God guide him.

[@user-Dunarak]

Couldn’t agree more. He took something so pure, so intimate, so precious like this type of direct connection with God and turned it into this commercialized, politicized BS!!!! All for money!
