Sır – Hakikat – Nesimi – Hallacı Mansur – Gurûh-ı Nâciye

In this video, Pir Hüseyin Bildik provides a comprehensive explanation of Sır, one of the most fundamental and constitutive concepts of Alevi teaching, through the examples of Hallâc-ı Mansur and Nesimi. Within Alevi cosmology and theology, the concept of Sır stands at the center of the human journey toward Hakikat and the search for identification with Hak. By evaluating this ancient concept through the lives and deaths of historical figures, Pir Hüseyin Bildik explains how Alevism offers a mode of existence shaped by the principle of “not revealing the Sır,” enriching his narration with deyiş and nefes. This account reveals a profound belief perspective in Alevi thought, symbolized by Hallâc-ı Mansur’s statement “Enel-Hak” and by Nesimi’s refusal to renounce the Sır despite being brutally executed by flaying.
