Finally i found a spiritual teacher/guide

[Spirit of Light]

After my journey took me in to Sufism i understood that for all those years i been seeking answers to spiritual questions i been alone, not set my self a time to ask a teacher/guide to help me understand any teaching i been following or tried to understand.

In sufism, i looked in to different "branches" or "schools" of teaching.

But when i listen to Sheykh Lokman Efendi that was the moment i realized he is the one.
Officially my request to be a student under him has been given.
Of course he may turn me down, if he do not see me as serious enough in my practice.
If he accept my request, i may have to go there for some time when travel is safe again.

This ease a lot of my thoughts knowing i gain help and wisdom from a teacher.

PS: this thread is not for debate, questions may of course be asked.

I visited the Turkish city of Konya once. Is it considered to be the centre of Sufism in the Islamic world?

To my knowledge, yes you are correct

"...Give us this day..." I feel tells us that if we need a guide, we'll get a guide. Very happy you found yours. You may want to leave yourself open to additional ones.

You speak the truth
What is a bit crazy, is that just a few weeks ago, i did ask "out loud to the universe"

I am in need of a a teacher, may i be granted so...

And here i am, i did get answer, in form of unexpected " search suggestion" where videos, website and so on about this Sufi teacher was suggested to me. Looking in to this, i found so many answers, and it felt like a connection open right away.

I hope you find what you are seeking

 

[Spirit of Light]

I hope you find what you are seeking

Thank you i hope too, only time can tell.

Listening to my teacher, i realize my way of speaking ( about spiritual life) has lead others to say, you claming this or that, and my reply has been, no i do not claim, i believe or it's my understanding.

@Conscious thoughts YOU DID CLAIME IT

And i did not see it . Guys... I been blinded by my own ego and ignorace to listen....

 

[Eddi]

I hope he accepts you

What would being one of his students entail?

 

[Spirit of Light]

I hope he accepts you

What would being one of his students entail?

-To listen to his teaching/ talks.
-To use his guidance to better my self
-Guidance in prayer
-Guidance during study of the quran or other important teachings
-Do service to others with unconditionally love to the people i help.

And probably many many more things i do not know right now

It depends on the sufi order. To my knowledge Chisti sufism has been located in Afghanistan through the Indian sub-continent but I'm not sure about today given all that has been going on in that troubled area.

I did a little research my self the Sufi ordner Rumi was founder of did have location there and still have.
Personally i belong to a different ordner than Rumi, but a lot of the wisdom is the same.

In classical Hinduism, it's a two way relationship. I do hope he takes you on. You'll be better off for it.

Yes, if I have understood correct in a long "relationship" between teacher and student they become like one
