This short teaching repeats a refrain: “Krizler vardır, yok. Ekonomik kriz vardır, yok. Başka krizler var. Kriz diye uydurma işini söyle. De ki dinsizlik vardır.” Its message is a Sufi insight: what we call crises are shadows of spiritual neglect – the one real crisis is irreligion. When the heart turns away from remembrance, every outward turbulence, economic or political, feels like an emergency; when divine consciousness is alive within us, the same events become passing ripples on a still sea.
The true crisis is not the changing fortunes of the world but the silence that falls when we forget our connection to the Source. Through daily zikr, fellowship and turning each difficulty into an invitation to inner awakening, apparent calamities become steps towards deeper trust and love.
