In this sohbet, Ayberk Efendi gives seekers a simple reminder: Kalbe girmeye bak – “strive to enter the heart.” Each of us, he says, carries an “understanding problem”: we tend to misread one another’s words and intentions, and this often causes friction in friendship and in community life. Recognising that misunderstanding is part of the human condition makes room for empathy and for humility before the sheikh.
When we approach the sheikh with this awareness, his heart is no longer distant but open to sincere intention. Ayberk Efendi urges us to set the ego aside, to listen deeply and to be present without wanting to impress. Then the encounter becomes a meeting of hearts in which love and guidance can flow.
