Explanation:

There were various methods that Sufis applied to reach the highest states of communion with the divine.These were elaborate methods of training using zikr (chanting of a name or sacred formula),contemplation, sama (singing), raqs (dancing), discussion of parables, breath control, etc.These were to be taken under the guidance of a master or pir.Thus emerged the silsilas, a genealogy of Sufi teachers, each following a slightly different method(tariqa) of instruction and ritual practice.
