Ottoman Empire - Dervish Sheikh
Ottoman Empire - Dervish Sheikh. Dervish or Darvesh in Persian usually refers to a person who is a seeker of the truth i.e. universal truth. Within the Islamic tradition such people are often known as Sufis, Sufi, people of the way or mystics and they come from every strata of society; here monetary considerations are inapplicable since the situation is that of a deep personal inner spiritual longing. There are in existence a number Sufi Orders many of which bear the name of a great saint and within these orders various practices have continued over the centuries in order to assist generations of seekers whose desire is to be brought to reality itself. It is said that the number of ways to reality/truth exceeds the number of grains of sand on the beach. It may be noted that this infinite number of ways to truth can even start at a point beyond religion, ultimately the truth is an univeral quality."

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Dervish Sheikh of the Ottoman Empire sits in deep meditation, his eyes closed and his hands resting in his lap, surrounded by the arid landscape of Jerusalem. The Dervish, or Darvesh, is a seeker of truth, a mystic or ascetic within the Islamic tradition, often referred to as a Sufi or a person of the way. Sufis come from all walks of life, transcending social and economic boundaries, driven by an inner spiritual longing that is not influenced by material considerations. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled much of the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe from the late 13th to the early 20th century, was home to numerous Sufi Orders, many named after great saints. These Orders have preserved various practices over the centuries, offering guidance to generations of seekers on their journey towards reality itself. The infinite ways to truth or reality are said to exceed the number of grains of sand on the beach. This universal quest for truth can even begin beyond the realm of religion, ultimately revealing the underlying unity of all things. The Dervish Sheikh in this photograph embodies the timeless search for truth and spiritual enlightenment, a quest that transcends the boundaries of time and place. The Ottoman Empire, with its rich history and diverse cultural heritage, provided a fertile ground for the flourishing of Sufi traditions. This image offers a glimpse into the spiritual world of the Ottoman Empire, a world of deep contemplation, inner peace, and the eternal quest for truth.
