The first work to appear in Fons Vitae's Contemporary Spiritual Masters series treats the reader or seeker to a firsthand, intimate experience of the master-disciple relationship in the Islamic mystical tradition: Sufism. Following a scholarly introduction, which describes the five great Sufi orders and their lineages of renowned saints and masters (of which Hazrat Rasool is himself a product) the contemporary master answers oft asked and important questions covering such topics as: the transformational changes Sufism may bring about in a serious seeker, the nature of the individual who has achieved the goal, the role of the guide or master, the "centers of consciousness, " the transmission of the methodology and meditation, what it means for the heart to be "awakened" or enlightened, and the kind of realization experienced by students of Sufism.

Scholarly yet accessible, authoritative yet humble, moderate yet firmly rooted in spiritual tradition, Turning Toward the Heart challenges preconceptions of both Islam and Sufism. In a world in need of beacons of truth, Hazrat Rasool's gentle voice instructs, informs, and, most importantly, inspires.
