Conversation is to be able to begin, continue and end a decision, thought or action.
Facing with your finitude.
Sufist conversation is not just an ordinary dialogue between partners but a sharing, caring and a feeling between lovers.
It shares as long as your lover tries to share with you.
The partner cares when you open yourself while opening the world into conversation.
Conversation feels alive as far as you listen.
Love is to love the world mentally and spiritually and to regard all as a part of the world as a contingent totality.
It is to acknowledge the connection between our souls and see how all unites in one.
To begin a conversation requires grace, elegance and intelligence, to continue it, coming into full terms with your partner.
Conversing with yourself is not a conversation. It is a narration.
Conversing with your lover is to become one mouth, one body, one living.
(Note: I apologize for friends who prefer the word dialogue. I wanted to use the word 'conversation' because it is the English translation of the Turkish word 'sohbet'.) |
