Just as music is used to facilitate the experience, the stories are also used to get dervishes thinking in a certain way. The stories have multiple meanings, and as the dervish moves from one stage to the other, the meanings become clearer. The Quran is also said to have 7 levels of meanings. But the reality is that dervishes are the ones who follow Islam right down to the dot, for them all of the rituals and practices have the ultimate aim of being united with their Beloved. This is necessary for people of your kind, because of your weakness.
