This book contains many quotes and stories from the Sufi tradition and a rich introduction by the author, who is a student of Sufism. I was first introduced to the tradition about 20 or so years ago through Rumi's poetry, which inspired me and impressed me with the emphasis on love of God. This is an ecstatic tradition that doesn't seek to explain anything but rather to connect one with an open heart and facilitate falling in love with God, immanent and transcendent.Reading this book is a wonderful experience.
Just started reading this book. I want to learn more about Sufism since it is a theme echoed over a over by Gibran, Pamuk and of course its founder the great poet Rumi. I love the concept of becoming "One with the Beloved". In my opinion Pamuk corrupts Sufism and Mystics. Orhan Pamuk's books present a distorted view of Dervishes and Sufis, especially the novel, My Name is Red. He reduces these holy men to their baser instincts.Of course as a Christian my ultimate Spiritual Goal is to become one with Jesus Christ.Over the years as I think back I believe I have found elements of Sufism in the writings of Deepak Chopra, the Dalai Lama and I'm sure that as I read more of Dr. Edward Said I will find it there also. Perhaps it is also in Buddhism, I must look at my Buddhist scriptures.The theme of Being One with the Beloved resonates with me as a Christian because you find this concept in the Bible. Jesus spoke that He and the Father were One. The Epistles constantly speak about being reunited with God, being more like the Father, losing yourself in Him.I'm the type of Christian who believes one can incorporate the best of other faiths without losing or rejecting one's own belief system. As I get older I lean towards to the Gospel of Inclusion. Besides on Judgement Day we will all answer to God no matter what our faith or belief.Saturday, May 30, 2009The aphorisms in this book remind me very much of the Book of Proverbs in the Bible. Proverbs is known as the book of Wisdom. I keep refering to the Bible because this is my faith and my frame of reference. As I read about the Sufis and Dervishes I think about Jesus disciples and how he sent them out to preach the gospel and heal the sick. Jesus told them to take nothing with them except the clothes on their back. I believe the scripture states that the workman is worthy of his hire. The went from town to town, house to house spreading the Good News. Whoever had ears to hear received it, those who did not Jesus told them to shake the dust off their sandals as they left that particular village. I am just speculating but maybe Rumi and other Sufis were inspired by Jesus, his disciples and the apostles.Another similarity I found was the mention of the Redemptive Names of God. Christians also have this.________________________________________Eight Redemptive Names of GodJEHOVAH-JIREH"The Lord our provider" - This is also the name Abraham gave to the place where the Lord provided a sacrifice in place of Isaac. (Gen. 22:14).JEHOVAH-NISSI"Our banner, a banner of love and protection" - Also the name Moses gave to the altar he built after defeating the Amalekites (Ex. 17:15).JEHOVAH-SHALOM"Our perfect peace" - Also the name Gideon gave to the altar he built at Ophrah (Judges 6:24)JEHOVAH-TSID-KENU"The Lord is our righteousness" - The name is applied to a future Davidic king who would lead his people to do what is right and thus bring peace (Jeremiah 23:6) and to the restored city of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 33:16). The name is possibly a play on the name of Zedekiah ("Righteous [is:] the Lord") who reigned from 597 to 587 B.C..JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH"The One Who is with us everywhere for He is Omnipresent" - The Jerusalem of Ezekiel's vision (see Ezekiel 48:35 margin) was known by this name. Compare text at Isaiah 60:19-20 and Revelation 21:3.JEHOVAH-SABAOTH"The Lord of Hosts, our Protector." C.H. Spurgeon said this about the phrase "The Lord of Hosts:The Lord rules the angels, the stars, the elements, and all the hosts of Heaven; and the Heaven of heavens is under His sway... [the Lord:] is on our side -- our august Ally; woe unto those who fight against Him, for they shall flee like smoke before the wind when He gives the word to scatter them."See text at Psalm 46:7.JEHOVAH-RAAH"Our Shepherd Who tenderly leads us, loves us and will keep us safe." - the famous Psalm 23 tells us that "The Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not want...." Being illustrated as a shepherd implies a relationship with His sheep (His believers). The term shepherd appears approximately 80 times in the Scriptures, denoting meanings of: feeder, keeper, companion, friend, pastor and herdsman.JEHOVAH RAPHA"I am the Lord Your Physician or I am the Lord Your Healer - this name especially was a Name God prophetically spoke about Himself, not one that someone gave Him. Exodus 15:26Sunday, May 31, 2009Just wanted to add that some of themed echo the Song of Solomon which contrasts romantic love between Solomon and his Ethiopian wife to his Love and search for God. Also in regards to mystics whether Sufi or Christian, "One cannot be so Heavenly bound that you are no earthly good". Props to my former Pastor, Rev. A.R. Bernard!!The Mystic experience can also be found heavily in the Catholic Church. There are many famous Catholic Mystics; St. Teresa of Avila, Hildegard of Bingen, Francis of Assisi, Julian of Norwich, Catherine of Siena, etc... Many Catholic Mystics have had the experience of Stigmata, actually having the wounds of Christ on their physical bodies. Some have actually a type of ecstasy something similar to an out of body experience, perhaps a suspension of natural time where one is present with the Lord.In my brief study of Eastern and Western Mysticism the Path Chooses the Believer not the Believer the Path. I think ones personality also lends itself to a mystical experience
I have had a hard copy of this book for years and recently bought the kindle edition as well--giving me access to it any time and anywhere. That is how vital its contents are to me. For anyone who is new to Sufism or who is steeped in the Sufi way of life (or anywhere in between), this is a rich and beautiful compendium of Sufi literature. Frager does a wonderful job of arranging the Sufi writings (spanning many centuries and continents) into thematic chapters, such as prayer, love, etc. I highly recommend this book, which I use the way others might use their bible--for comfort and/or inspiration.
This is an excellent and easily accessible introduction to Sufism. It covers the five basic pillars of Islam and also the essential underlying beliefs of Sufism. More importantly, it captures the heart of the tradition in words and is filled with pearls of wisdom, powerful quotes and wisdom stories from various Sufi saints, masters, etc.This book also encourages an engaged reading stance where one meanders through the book and stays aware of poignant passages. It invites reflection and although there are a lot of stories, the underlying framework provides good structure and a sense of flow. In short, a very nice introduction to the mysticism of Islam.
Words can not explain my love for this book. It gives you such a strong sense of love and emotion from the minute you open it. It had me in tears within the first few pages.
Sufism soothes the soul
Amazing. Well laid out. And some great wisdoms and learnings shared, all around. Beautiful and easy read. Great way to start the day!
I have loved Sufi poetry for the way it expresses what I have found to be Real. After many years of being lost in the world there was an experience that came about, revealing the illusion and uncovering the Real. When I read Essential Sufism I hear the song of what has been uncovered. The Unseen Reality of What Is.
