Drunken Sufism, also known as "sama" or "whirling dervishes," is a mystical practice within Sufism that involves using music, dance, and sometimes the consumption of alcohol to reach a state of spiritual ecstasy and connection with the divine. The practice is based on the teachings of Sufi poets and mystics, such as Rumi, who believed that through ecstatic experiences, one could transcend the limitations of the ego and achieve a deeper understanding of the divine. The whirling dance performed by practitioners is symbolic of the soul's journey towards union with the divine.
