This episode was originally recorded for the Spiritual Wanderlust Podcast, with Kelly Deutsch. Learn more about this series that explores the wild, untamed frontiers of our interior life at spiritualwanderlust.org/podcast
This time on Sufi Heart, Omid Safi speaks with Kelly about:
- Discovering Islamic Mystics
- Sufism and having a pure heart
- Omid’s life in Iran and exposure to masculine displays of emotion
- The mystery of being human, the mystery of God
- Heartbreak and experiencing the heart breaking open
- Sacred Eroticism and using our senses to experience loveliness
- What we can learn from the type of love a mother provides
- Radical love and going into the roots
- Linking together love and justice
“The Sufis explicitly say something that of course we find also in the Christian mystical contemplative tradition. Mischievously, they almost say there is a holy trinity, a language which most orthodox Muslims would avoid and all Jews would have avoided. But they say the trinity is love, lover, and beloved. God is love, God is the lover, and God is the beloved.” – Omid Safi
