Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
"Emphasizing the necessity 'to shift from...our personal point of view to the Divine point of view,' Inayat Khan encourages this "awakening in life" by enumerating the ways to reconnect the personal self with the transpersonal dimension of being. Exceptional and thoroughly detailed chapters address "Awakening and Illumination," "Beginning the Journey," "Becoming a Being of Light," "Building a Temple for the Divine Presence," and "Heaven on Earth." The chapter on "Attuning to the Masters, Saints and Prophets" is unusually insightful, with its diverse attention to Buddha, Shiva, Zoroaster, Christ, and others." - NAPRA Review. Remainder Mark.

Farid ud-Din Attat
Attar's great mystical poem opens when all the birds of the world gather together to begin the search for an ideal king. What follows is a marvellous allegorical rendering of sufism - the seccretive and paradoxical form of Islamic mysticism. Like the Canterbury Tales, The Conference of the Birds consists of a group of stories bound together by a pilgrimage. The Way of the sufi is expounded here in tales that are often riddling and sometimes obscure, but full of incident and suspense, laced with quick character-sketches and witty vignettes of everyday life in twelfth-century Persia. Above all, though, the poem puts into words themes of love and tghe search for divine unity; in conveying these Attar 'has transformed belief into poetry, much in the same way that Milton or Dante did'.

Jalaluddin Rumi has been called the greatest mystical poet of any age, and his work compared to that of Dante and Shakespeare. Over a period of 25 years he composed of 70,000 verses of poetry on the subjects of divine love, mystic passion and ecstatic illumination. Rumi's voice leaps off these pages with an ecstatic energy that leaves readers breathless. Above all, Rumi makes plain the unbridled joy that comes from living life fully. The Essence of Rumi offers us the opportunity to overcome the limitations of our human view of the world and transform our sensory eye into the poet's all-seeing Ocean of Reality.

In this inspiring little book the Sufi sages lead us on a mystical voyage of discovery; enticing us into a love affair with the Divine Beloved. Sufi wisdom may seem mystifying, but actually it is trying to point us to something so obvious we miss it. God is everywhere and everything.
