Die Sufi-Tradition im Westen (German Edition)

This book is timely, because it clearly states what in the West is compatible with this very ancient body of thought, as well as that is incompatible. This message is not put over in any excoriating or disparaging way, but with wit, tendencies and the exasperated patience of a cat playing with her young. Not only in this book a lucid account of what the Sufi Tradition can mean to the individual, it also casts a beady eye at many contemporary sacred cows, providing a highly useful distanced view of today s world, even to someone who is not specifically seeking out the Sufi Tradition.
