"A heartfelt modern illumination of the Sufi path, filled with the fragrance of the ancients." -- Jack Kornfield, author, psychologist, Buddhist teacher "This is an excellent book that explains spiritual principles and how to carry them into everyday life... in language that is simple, straightforward, and down to earth, yet profound. While the author's viewpoint is Sufi and Islamic, the principles presented are universal, and few cultural overlays intrude on the text, making it accessible to Westerners. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal "Sober, thoughtful, and well worth deep reflection... concerned with our interactions with one another, with cultivating love and a desire to serve the Highest through serving each other. This is a valuable emphasis in a culture like ours that tends to think of spiritual development as special and solitary experiences. I think the salvation of our cultures and our planet will be based on the quality of attention, love, and presence we learn to give one another." -- Charles Tart, Noetic Sciences Review "His book is intended to help us fall in love with Spirit." -- Yoga Journal "I recommend this book without reservations to all seekers of truth, regardless of their discipline. This book would be of value to psychologists, Buddhists, Sufis -- in fact all who wish to challenge their life views in the light of this well-thought-out presentation of the challenges of being human." -- Vasheesht Davenport, The Sound 180 pages 5-1/2x8-1/2" Paperback ISBN 0-87477-699-6 |
