The method used in this paper is to analyze Sayyed Hosein Nasr's thoughts with a qualitative-descriptive approach. The results obtained from this release are Sufism is the right way to answer the various problems faced by the modern world. Sufism that does not leave material physical life. The meaning of uzlah (self-exile), hold hermitage) and khalwah (solitude) is interpreted in spirit or soul, not in physical material. The theme of exile arises from within the souls of modern humans to remind them of the deepest spiritual needs. Therefore sufism is the right way to fill the emptiness of the human soul as a result which leads to western oriented and material oriented.
