Persian Dervish with young son

Persian Dervish with young son, carrying a club. 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
Persian Dervish with Young Son: A Timeless Bond of Spiritual Devotion (1916) This evocative image captures the profound moment between a Persian Dervish, a seeker of universal truth, and his young son. Dervishes, also known as Darveshes or Sufis, are individuals who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment within the Islamic tradition. These mystics, who come from all walks of life, transcend monetary considerations, as their quest is driven by an inner, deeply personal longing for truth. Throughout history, various Sufi Orders have emerged, each preserving unique practices to guide seekers on their spiritual journeys. With an estimated infinite number of ways to reach truth, these Orders offer diverse paths, some of which may even begin beyond the realm of religion. The Dervish in this photograph, dressed in traditional garb and carrying a club, embodies the ascetic nature of his spiritual calling. The presence of his young son underscores the universality of this quest for truth, as the teachings of Sufism are passed down from generation to generation. This image, taken in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of Persian Sufism, which continues to resonate in the modern world, particularly in countries like Iran and Turkey, where Sufism remains a vital part of the Muslim faith.
