#3 Aziz on falling in love with your path and life as a spiritual disciple of Sufism

In this dropUp episode, I sit with Aziz, a Sufi practitioner, to journey into the mystical heart of Sufism. We explore divine unity, the role of love, and our potential for beauty and chaos. We trace the origins of whirling, a dance of unity, and Sufism that Aziz calls "The punk rock of Islam". Aziz also shares insights on the importance of commitment in paths. Through our conversation, I hope to inspire listeners with unique insights and a fresh outlook on their lives!
