This informative book enriched by Sufi poetry, is an excellent theoretical guide for those who want to set on an inner journey.This book emphasizes creative powers and one's core Being is a passionate love affair between the earthly and the divine. This is the essence of Sufism, a mystical path of love that reaches the hearts of all true seekers of every spiritual tradition. P.118: "When we practice meditation, the mind goes deeper and deeper within and becomes more quiet. When it becomes clear, it is then able to touch its own source, becoming more and more a mirror to the light within. Like a pool whose surface, when ruffled by the winds of anger and desire, is unable to reflect the sun, the agitated mind can no longer mirror and reflect the truth. It is upon the serene placid surface of the quiet mind that the vision gathered from the invisible finds a representation in the visible world." P.91: "Self-awareness, the superior goal of religion is a journey within, which starts with awakening and hearing the message of love through the heart.This takes place only by means of mediation at that time one is able to ascend the spiritual ladder that finally leads to self-awareness."
