Celvet is often explained alongside halvet, spiritual seclusion, in Sufi vocabulary. It evokes participation in social life while maintaining an inward spiritual orientation. The name of the Celvetiyye tradition derives from the same word, a historical connection that explains the term without indicating any bearer's religious affiliation.
