"Like the introduction says I must agree - this is material too rich to gorge on - but great for a bit of "daily snacking." The Buddhist philosophy stretched my mind, it was profoundly intellectual. This stuff warms my heart, and, challenges my little head too."
"All-purpose Sufi wisdom. There are some great sufi parables in here and the book suprisingly contained a lot of humor. I guess to laugh, is also a sufi trait. Favorite parable in book is the one about the man who sought the three greatest pleasures in life, the sufi response was eating, drinking and breaking wind."
"Great Book for people who aren't slave bound to a specific creed. The author is rather luring as he provocatively sheds light on Sufism. The book profiles the important teachers, artists, and philosophers of Sufism. It also goes on to explore the basic traditions and the history of Sufi through traditional poems, texts, prayers, proverbs, essays, and meditation. And finally the exploration of the relationship between sufism to modern Islam. Very clear and concise, and easily understood. Share this review Edit this review"
