The Unveiling of Secrets: Diary of a Sufi Master

Parvardigar Press

A great book to read
This is a book written by a true master of this path. We can read this book, but we should be careful not to pretend to understand it more than we are capable of doing so. Ruzbehan speaks of things well beyond our mind and imagination. The "Men of God" travel far ...

Carl W. Phd Ernst
Shambhala

Virtuoso scholarship that renders a public service.
THE SHAMBHALA GUIDE to SUFISM is a virtuoso performance in academic scholarship. The complex difficulties of the subject can be readily appreciated form the fact that the first 30 pages are devoted to an effort to define the meaning of the words sufi and sufism. It ...
