Khaneghah, House of Present Time
"Khaneghah" or "Khaneh-gah", literally means the "House of Present Time."
"Gah" is that real or true moment in which a person is present. It is that moment of presence that one needs to continuously reach and prolong, both inwardly and outwardly.
Each true moment in one’s life must be discovered and saved from being wasted in the transient and unstable aspects of the material life. Eventually the gate to the realms of knowledge and love opens to the true seeker of the path. The salek (or seeker) needs to constantly gather in his truth and not be preoccupied with the distraction of others in order to be present and one with existence in every moment of his life. To gain any kind of knowledge, one needs to go to school and turn to the teacher who has the knowledge. In Sufism, the school is called "Khaneghah."
In the old days, when a person was truly seeking his own truth and could not do it on his own, he would turn to Khaneghah for spiritual guidance.
He would put aside all his social ranks and acquired knowledge, and with pure humility turned to Khaneghah to discover his inherent knowledge beyond the boundaries of time and space through the presence of the teacher and the practice of zikr.
