Arabian Dervish - Egypt
Arab Dervish from Egypt. 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
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of an Arabian Dervish in the heart of Egypt, a land rich in history and spiritual tradition. The Dervish, or seeker of truth, is a central figure in the Islamic mystical tradition, known as Sufism. Sufis, who come from all walks of life, are characterized by their deep inner spiritual longing, transcending monetary considerations. Throughout history, various Sufi Orders have emerged, each with unique practices designed to help seekers on their journey towards reality itself. The infinite ways to truth, as expressed by the Sufis, are as vast as the number of grains of sand on the beach. The Dervish's distinctive attire, including the iconic tall hat, or "sikke," and the flowing, white garment, symbolizes his dedication to the spiritual path. The practice of whirling, or "Sama," is a well-known Sufi ritual, allowing the seeker to enter a state of ecstasy and union with the divine. This photograph offers a glimpse into the mystical world of the Sufis, where the pursuit of truth transcends religious boundaries and touches upon the universal human quest for meaning and connection. The Dervish's introspective gaze and serene expression serve as a reminder of the transformative power of faith and the enduring allure of the spiritual journey.
