The
Pearl
Of Sufism’ is the
way Sufism is taught in our time. Rich with stories,facts and
many practical advises for every spiritual seeker.
This
book contains some of the essential topics of the teachings Dr.Azmayesh
about Sufism.
The
pearl is
taken as a metaphor for the inner substance of the seeker. To realize this
pearl is the goal of everybody starting out on this path.Together with
the analogy of the ghanat (the inner channel we dig) this analogy is
explained in vivid images, making it resonate on a very deep level.
The relation between the master and the disciple is at the core of this
path of mystical teachings. Another important
subject is the place of the rhythms on this path. Dr.
Azmayesh teaches us that the rhythms can strengthen the energy of our
heart (the main orientation of the Sufi). Aspects like the rhythms
in the mystical poetry and the inner vibration of the rhythms are
explained in this book.
In an earlier book, Lessons of a Sufi master Dr. Azmayesh extensively
wrote about the life after death, out of body experiences and the four
main pillars of this path; the meditation, the zekr (or mantra), the
fekr (the mental image) and the mohassebeh (making up the
balance of ones acts each day). So these subjects have a less prominent
place within this book.
In the teachings of Dr. Azmayesh, many stories and examples are included
to touch and inspire us on different levels and to breathe more life
into the subjects.
A very rich publication for anybody interested in spirituality,
mysticism, Gnosticism and Sufism.
