As well as discussing Darvish doctrines and history, the volume also examines the spiritual and metaphysical significance of Sufism as a living tradition
Join with Sádi and Observe his Miracle Words! بنی آدم اعضای یکدیگرند که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند The sons of Adam are limbs of each other Having been created of one essence. چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار دگر عضوها را نماند قرار When the calamity of time afflicts one limb The other limbs cannot remain at rest. تو کز محنت دیگران بی غمی نشاید که نامت نهند آدمی If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.
