In this heartfelt sohbet, Ayberk Efendi invites us to shift our attention from the mere surface of speech toward the presence behind it. He opens with a rhythmic chant that repeats “Ey insanlar! Nefsini bilen, Rabbini bilen… Nefes çok güçlü.” The repeated words become a living reminder: true awareness arises when we know ourselves (nafs), recognize the Divine (Rabb), and honor the breath that sustains us.
The phrase “Söyleyene değil, söyletene bak” (look not at who is speaking but at the one who speaks) urges us to listen with the heart. Each utterance is an invitation to pause, feel the vitality of our own breath, and align our inner state with God’s presence. When we focus on the source of the words—the soul that conveys them—truth shines through, and the noise of idle talk fades away.
We welcome all seekers who wish to deepen this practice within a supportive community. Join our live meetings for guided zikr and contemplation, where the breath and the Divine are remembered together: https://royalottomans.com/live-meetings.
