One of the first memories I have from sitting with Cemalnur is from a magical night in Istanbul, where we were treated to a night of her sohbet, mystical discourse. Hour after hour went by, and Cemalnur was sharing stories, anecdotes, Sufi aphorisms, commentary on the Qur’an, and more. It all seemed so… effortless. These were not her stories. They were pouring through her. It was as if she had simply emptied herself of her own ego, and she was a channel of grace to the magical Beyond.
There’s something about experiencing a sohbet with her that is a reminder of how thin the veils between this world and the next world can become… The sweetness of Sohbet and insha’Llah, the sweetness of reading this volume, is but a taste of what it must be like to sit with the ones who make God real, Here and Now.

For anyone interested in a contemporary expression of Sufi teachings, these talks provide a marvelously clear and dynamic introduction -- her approach is modern, but deeply rooted in Sufi tradition. Highly recommended.

An illuminating journey into the soul of the universe from one who has voyaged further, and deeper, than other travelers.

The conversations brought together in this volume are a moving, unforgettable illustration of so many essential facets of the universal process of spiritual teaching, guidance, and learning. The outward starting point of Cemalnur Sargut’s instruction here is familiar spiritual themes and stories from the Qur’an, hadith, and great masters of earlier Sufi tradition, from Rumi and Ibn ‘Arabi on down to Kenan Rifa’i. But we soon discover a uniquely insightful and compelling voice, convincingly rooted in experience and devoted practice, whose lessons are intimately accessible in and through each reader’s own particular circumstances and life-challenges.
