In this sohbet, Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi turn the Sufi principle of non-attachment into a living practice. Everything we have, our thoughts, our possessions, even our identities, is a trust from Allah, not something we own. The conversation first acknowledges how easily we cling to what passes, then offers a simple remedy: returning each “thing” to its Source.
Sheikh Bahauddin emphasises that freedom comes when we stop measuring our worth by material gain or social status. Seeing ourselves as caretakers rather than owners, gratitude replaces greed and love replaces fear. Ayberk Efendi shares moments when the weight of attachment lifted once he remembered that every breath is a gift. Together they show how this awareness changes daily life, at work, in the family and in quiet contemplation, and lets the heart rest in Allah’s mercy.
If you feel called to explore this path more deeply, our teachers hold regular Live meetings. May we all learn to let go of the illusion of ownership: nothing truly belongs to us; all belongs to Allah.
