In the late 20th century, Sufism, the mystical path of Islam, has attracted grea
t interest on the part of spiritual seekers. Central to Sufism is the belief tha
t God is Beloved Truth and that all seekers are lovers of God. This fine antholo
gy collects sayings of the Sufi Masters ranging from the ninth century to the pr
esent. Sayings deal with matters such as the nature of the Sufi, the lover and t
he beloved, and union with God. Because of its range and its completeness, this
is the one book that all libraries should have as they build their collections o
n Sufism.

Llewellyn Vaughan Lee is a Sufi Master for whom I have tremendous respect, and t
his book is an absolute gem. He quotes Sufi Masters from throughout the traditio
n, starting with the hadith of the Prophet. Rumi & Hafiz are among many quoted.
The quotes are arranged thematically, by topics roughly reflecting the order of
the spiritual path. For many of these selections, just an individual quote would
be ample to ponder for week of meditation. This book is unbelievably dense with
wisdom and insight. I cannot highly enough recommend this book to spiritual see
kers of all traditions!
If you love Sufi Sayings these a great collection of sayings from different mast
ers. Read any page from the book, don't have to read this in order.
These gems of great Sufi teachers between the 7th and 20th centuries, arouse the
heart through its states of longing, separation and union.
Wherever I dive in I always find an echo, an affirmation, an inspiration.
