The Pearl Of Sufism’ is the way Sufism is taught in our time. Rich with    stories,facts and many practical advises for every spiritual seeker.

    This book contains some of the essential topics of the teachings Dr.Azmayesh about    Sufism.
  The pearl is taken as a metaphor for the inner substance of the seeker. To realize this    pearl is the goal of everybody starting out on this path.Together  with the analogy of    the ghanat (the inner  channel we dig) this analogy is explained in vivid images,    making it resonate on a very deep level.
   
   The relation between the master and the disciple is at the core of this path of mystical teachings.  Another important subject is the place of the rhythms on this path. Dr. Azmayesh teaches us that the rhythms can strengthen the energy of our heart (the main orientation of the Sufi). Aspects like the rhythms in the mystical poetry and the inner vibration of the rhythms are explained in this book.

   In an earlier book, Lessons of a Sufi master Dr. Azmayesh extensively wrote about the life after death, out of body experiences and the four main pillars of this path; the meditation, the zekr (or mantra), the fekr (the mental image) and the mohassebeh (making up the balance of ones acts each day). So these subjects have a less prominent place within this book.

   In the teachings of Dr. Azmayesh, many stories and examples are included   to touch   and inspire us on different levels and to breathe more life into the subjects.

   A very rich publication for anybody interested in spirituality, mysticism, Gnosticism and Sufism.
