Mysticism transcends the boundaries of culture, history, and whichever religious tradition that it appears within.

Whether it is Christian mystics seeking union with God, Hindu mystics striving for realisation of the Atman, or Sufi mystics aiming for a direct
experience of Allah, the underlying human longing for a deeper connection with the divine is the universal thread that unites all mystical traditions.

Despite the diversity of cultural or religious contexts, mystical experiences often share common features.

Mystics from different cultures and religions report very similar encounters with the ineffable, as well as an overwhelming sense of unity and interconnectedness and a dissolution of the sense of separate self.

These experiences of oneness with the divine or ultimate reality are described using different cultural and religious symbols, yet they point to a shared human capacity to transcend the ordinary.

The methods and practices employed in mysticism also exhibit cross-cultural similarities.

Whether it is meditation in Buddhism, contemplative prayer in Christianity, or Sufi rituals of zikr in Islam, mystics engage in various contemplative and devotional practices to still the mind, open the heart, and create a conducive space for a direct experience of the divine.
