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--mostly from the Middle East and India, ranging from the
tenth to the twentieth century--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: The nature of mystical love
Meditation Listening to music as a spiritual practice Ethical
teachings of Sufism Pitfalls on the spiritual path Spiritual
companionship and the master-disciple relationship The importance
of the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad Biographical accounts of
great mystics, including the poet Rumi as well as several female
saints
