In Sufism, the sense of separation from the Divine arises from the ego (nafs), which creates an illusion of duality between the self and God. Sufis overcome this through fana (annihilation of the ego), dissolving the false barriers via practices like dhikr (remembrance of God), meditation, and ecstatic love poetry by masters like Rumi. This leads to baqa (subsistence in God), revealing the underlying unity where lover and Beloved merge, as no true gulf exists in divine reality. #sufinama | #sufi
