Description from the Publisher: The Teachings, recorded first hand by the Khwaja’s devoted disciple Rukn ud Din, capture the unblurred vividness of the Khwaja talking to his disciples in a way that leads the mind gradually and seamlessly into the world of classical Islam. Through these lessons, the Khwaja proves himself to be a scholar with wide intellectual interests as well as a spiritual dignitary of the firmest orthodoxy. A master of the poetic form of the kafi, the present work also exposes the reader to the Khwaja’s sensitivity to beauty and magic ability to handle language through poems which appeal to the emotions as much as they convey religious teaching and profound mystical awareness.
