Seated Iranian Dervish Group
Seated group of Iranian (Persian) Dervishes. 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 image showcases a Seated Iranian Dervish Group, also known as Sufis or seekers of truth within the Islamic tradition. The Persian term "Dervish" translates to a person dedicated to the quest for universal truth, transcending societal boundaries and material wealth. Sufi Orders, bearing the names of revered saints, have preserved various spiritual practices throughout history, catering to generations of seekers longing for self-realization. Sufism, an esoteric branch of Islam, encompasses a multitude of ways to access the ultimate truth, surpassing the number of grains of sand on the beach. While religion may serve as a starting point for some, the pursuit of truth can extend beyond it, ultimately revealing the universal quality of reality itself. The Dervish Order, with its rich history and diverse practices, is a testament to the enduring human quest for spiritual enlightenment. This Seated Iranian Dervish Group, dressed in traditional garb, embodies the deep inner longing and devotion that characterizes the Sufi path. The image captures a moment of profound contemplation and unity, inviting us to reflect on the infinite ways we too can seek and connect with the universal truth.
