“The Beloved”

Sama (Sufism) is a Sufi ceremony performed as dhikr. Sama means “listening”, while dhikr means “remembrance”. These rituals often include singing, playing instruments, dancing, recitation of poetry and prayers, wearing symbolic attire, and other rituals. This painting, The “Sama” Whirling Dervish is Rumi as himself in my vision preforming this spiritual dance form that is believed to help him attain a union with power of the universe and his beloved Shams e Tabrizi (The sun symbolism). Reaching up with one palm up to receive the enlightenments and the supreme knowledge, but humble enough to pass it to the earth as he is practicing “Love” on the purest path. The Sama represents a mystical journey of man’s spiritual ascent through mind and love to perfection. Turning towards the truth, the follower grows through love, deserts his ego, finds the truth and arrives at perfection. He then returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love and to be of service to the whole of creation.
