23,03 €
The prose and verse readings in this book were chosen to interest the many people who have become attracted to Sufi teachings through their exposure to popular Sufi poetry, music, and dance. The selections&mdash mostly from the Middle East and India, ranging from the tenth to the twentieth century&mdash provide a sampling of Sufi thought on some of the basic aspects of this spiritual path. Most of the readings are published here in English for the first time. Brief introductory remarks place each selection into its historical and religious context, and an index of Qur'anic passages helps the reader to trace the extensive allusions to the Islamic holy scriptures. The topics covered include: &bull The nature of mystical love &bull Meditation &bull Listening to music as a spiritual practice &bull Ethical teachings of Sufism &bull Pitfalls on the spiritual path &bull Spiritual companionship and the master-disciple relationship &bull The importance of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad &bull Biographical accounts of great mystics, including the poet Rumi as well as several female saints.
