Getting Out of the Way: Living Sufism

Getting Out
Of The Way
Living Sufism
By Shaykh Ibrahim Ansari

This is a field guide for living spiritually in the world. It is learning about how to stay connected to the Divine. It’s about opening your heart. It is about serving. But it’s not about you. It’s about learning how to get out of the way so you can learn that wherever you are at the moment is The Classroom – and there is always more to learn.
Sufism is an ancient spiritual path that helps you:
Integrate everything that happens in your life
Learn the lesson and move on
How to get out of the way for the Divine within you
A way to find your place in the universe
A means of discovering who you are
The path of Rumi
Connecting the dots of life.
Sufism adapts to one’s understanding and capacity therefore it cannot be nailed down to a specific shape. With that in mind, we offer this book as an indicator of where the heart might find solace. Through essays, dialogues, commentaries, poems and stories you may catch a glimpse of the Beloved and learn how to use your spiritual net to capture the evanescent Presence.
