Excerpt from The Dialogue of the Gulshan-I-Raz: Or Mystical Garden of Roses of Mahmoud Shabistari
The author has endeavoured, while adhering as closely to the text as circumstances would allow and retaining the meaning in its fullest sense, to produce such a trans lation as might interest those who have no time for the perusal of voluminous notes or commentaries, and who might possibly be repelled by the apparent dryness of a literal prose translation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a journey into the enigmatic Persian Sufi philosophy as described by 14th-century master Mahmoud Shabistari. It begins by explaining the significance of contemplation and thought, describing the path that leads from misconception and error to wisdom and clarity. At the heart of this philosophy lies the concept of the 'possible' and 'essential.' Using rich metaphors and allegories, the author explores the nature of existence and non-existence, and the relationship between the material and spiritual worlds. Through a series of questions and answers, the author examines ideas of unity, faith, and the nature of God, shedding light on the complex relationship between the different parts of being. The book concludes with an exploration of the concept of time and eternity, revealing the transient nature of the world alongside the enduring presence of the divine.
