Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Sufism is a mystic branch of Islam that emphasizes a variety of ideas and ways of life that are devoted to Allah, divine love, and the development of the heart. Bhakti, on the other hand, denotes the total adoration of a single deity.

Sufism and Bhakti both got their origins as a reaction to the increasing rigidity of diverse religions. They are comparable in the following ways:

• Sufism holds that only love and devotion may bring one closer to God. Bhakti, which means devotion, placed a special focus on devotion to the All-Powerful.
• Sufism did not make distinctions between persons. Additionally, Bhakti adherents advocated equality for all and rejected caste prejudice and preached love to everybody.

POETRY:

bhakti and Sufi poetry are a form of love poetry. These poets are saints from diverse parts of India, Pakistan, and Persia. These poems are very similar despite being written in geographically dissimilar locations and various languages.

• Union and separation are prominent themes in Sufi and bhakti love poetry.
• Both acceptance and affection are equally important. When we accept something, we open our hearts and show them, love. Similar to how we accept something wholly when we love it completely. This is another major theme.
• The Universe is referred to by hundreds of names in Sufi and Bhakti poetry and prose, including "Allah," "Krishna," and "Khuda." The names are translated as "God," "The Cosmos," "The Almighty," etc. in English. Sufi and Bhakti poets highlight that it is not crucial what term we refer to as "the Universe." What important is that we comprehend and put "acceptance" into practice.

Sufism and Bhakti both rejected the extensive rituals practiced by other religions. Through music, poetry, and dance, Sufis and Bhaktis conveyed their devotion to God.
