In this intimate sohbet, Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi and Ayberk Efendi turn the timeless Sufi principle of non‑attachment into a living practice. They gently remind us that everything we possess—our thoughts, our possessions, even our very identities—is ultimately a trust from Allah, not an ownership claim. The conversation flows like a quiet night prayer: first acknowledging how easily we cling to what is transient, then offering the simple yet profound remedy of surrendering each “thing” back to its Source.
Sheikh Bahauddin emphasizes that true freedom arises when we stop measuring our worth by material gain or social status. By seeing ourselves as caretakers rather than owners, we open a space where gratitude replaces greed and love replaces fear. Ayberk Efendi adds personal reflections, sharing moments when he felt the weight of attachment lift after remembering that every breath is a gift. Together they illustrate how this awareness reshapes daily actions—whether in work, family life, or quiet contemplation—allowing the heart to rest peacefully in Allah’s boundless mercy.
For those who feel called to explore this path more deeply, live meetings with our teachers are offered regularly; you can join them through our Live meetings page. May we all learn to let go of the illusion of ownership and embrace the liberating truth that nothing truly belongs to us but Allah alone.
