[Nusrat Jahan]

In a nutshell, removing "i" self to acquire "I" self, to gain cosmic self through the journey of shedding "nafs"- desire/hunger and the path of final integration is the core point of Sufism. It is a process of repeated rebirth of a soul until the soul receives final consciousness. Rumi intended to achieve the cosmic self through love. Denying the materialistic world and sacrificing the animalism of self, one can reach the path of " baqa"- the state of consciousness.
