Description from the publisher:
The decision of Sufi aims, psychology, doctrine and method is original (many previously un translated texts are cited), sensitive and readable. The mood of Sufism is conveyed here with a clarity that is rare, even unique, yet is done in a responsible, non-proselytizing manner’.(Review of Books and Religion)
It is an invaluable contribution to the study of the subject and may well become a standard textbook . Highly Recommended. (CHOICE)
‘He has treated all the most important features of Sufism with a degree of profundity andunderstanding rarely to be found among modern writers.’(Religion)
The book is a sheer delight to read, and is here recommended unreservedly to the adept as well as to the layman.’ (The Asian Student)7
