The Sufi Science of Self-Realization: A Guide to the Seventeen Ruinous Traits, the Ten Steps to Discipleship, and the Six Realities of the Heart (Fons Vitae Living Spiritual Masters series)

This 10-step program describes the science of eliminating the 17 ruinous characteristics of the tyrannical ego—as set forth by Sufi master Abu 'l-Hasan al-Kharqani—in order to achieve purification of the soul and unveils the six powers that lie dormant within every human heart. The path from submersion in the negative traits to the unveiling of these six powers is known as the Migration to Perfected Knowledge on the way to complete realization. In America, where false Sufi masters are increasingly prevalent, it is important that the writings and practices of authentic Shaykhs—with lineages going back to the Prophet Muhammed—are available for both the seeker as well as the professor.
