Now here they are! Written in rhymed Arabic prose... it sets forth a doctrine of saintship-a doctrine founded on personal experience and clothed in the form of a subtle yet passionate dialectic.' This is a free-form poetic translation that captures the beauty and meaning and the mystery and the profundity of this controversial classic of Sufism.

    It provides with an insight and understanding which may be a welcome in a circle of Sufi friends, or as a silent companion on your further way. It is a volume rich in both quantity and quality. It offers beautiful insights into the world of the mind in its relation to the body one the one hand, and to the soul on another.
