The Sufi commentator Hazrat Qushayri R.A gives a beautiful description of the Sufi ideal: Sufism is entry into exemplary behavior and departure from unworthy behavior. Sufism means that God makes you die to yourself and makes you live in him. The Sufi is single in essence; nothing changes him, nor does he change anything.

Baugnies (French, 1842 - 1891) depicts a Sufi ceremony in great detail: a group of men, seated in a semi-circle on straw mats in a mosque courtyard, practice dhikr, entranced by a Sufi mystic and the mesmerising sound of flute and tambourine.
