The Sufi seeks to “die before death,” to transcend the ego and experience union with God. Transcending the ego is called fanâ (annihilation), and is one of the most important stages on the path, leading to baqâ (everlasting life in God). In the depths of the heart the lover becomes lost in the formlessness of love. Merging with the infinite ocean of the Self, he experiences a complete nothingness that is absolute fulfilment.
