The Way of the Sufi

By: Idries Shah

Narrated by: David Ault

The Way of the Sufi presents an unparalleled cross-section of material from Sufi schools, Sufi teachings, and classical writings as a basic course of Sufi study. The author begins with the outward aspects of the teaching most likely to puzzle the student coming fresh to the subject. He considers various attitudes to Sufi ideas and evidence of their absorption into medieval Christianity, Hinduism, Jewish mysticism, and modern philosophical teachings. The greater part of the book illuminates aspects of Sufi activity and practice relevant to the contemporary world.

Read this book three times over the past 20 years.

Learned something new every time I read this important book. Highly recommended to all interested.

Collection of amazing widsom.

Your walk toward God is as unique as your fingerprint, so shall your journey be.

Expect and uphill slog and assume nothing, stay completely open to the universality of God's wisdom and teaching.

Lovely d egg livery. Lovely words.

Simply beautiful. A meditation on the human experience shared with such warmth and delight that it was felt more than thought.

Sufi-ed up!

Great story. Discussed all of the history, types and touched on some of the belief system. The poems and stories were great. A little difficult to follow and the narrator was a bit sleepy sounding... So my holding my attention was difficult. Overall it was a informative book!

I give it 5 Stars if I could understand more of it

I have a feeling that shot and his Brethren, have something of inestimable value to offer us. However at this stage, I really have no idea how to assess what that might be. I kind of feel like a very precocious third-grader somehow introduced to James Joyce's Ulysses.
