Treading the mystic Path in Search of the Beloved

These days, there are many excellent and scholarly books available on the subject of mysticism and spirituality. Where "Treading the Mystic Path in Search of the Beloved" is unique is that, rather than implying any dichotomy between our spiritual lives and our physical lives, it demonstrates abundantly to what degree the mystic exaltation experienced in the moment of self-annihilation in the love of God colours every aspect of our daily existence. Furthermore, this book deals not only with the spiritualization of the individual soul but also with the spiritualization of society as a whole-a stage of human evolution that is crucial to answer the needs of the modern age. Thus, the gifted author-a much-travelled Persian Australian Bahá'í-discusses mysticism from a broad base, relating it to the main concerns that the world is facing today. Within the vibrant pages of this book, there is much from science, philosophy and sociology as well as from religion; all embroidered with pertinent, insightful and thought-provoking quotations from varied sources. As it traces the path of realization of the fundamental oneness of religion, the oneness of humankind, and the interconnectedness of all of creation, this book will speak to the hearts of readers from every walk of life; and from every religious tradition or none.
