QUOTES FROM BEAUTY AND LIGHT DISCOURSES
“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. I remember turning to a friend who was there, Professor Carl Ernst, a leading scholar of Sufism, and one of us said to the other: “She is one of those people that you and I have read about in books our whole lives.” By Omid Safi
