A revised 25th anniversary edition of the classic work on Sufism that Jack Kornfield (eminent Buddhist teacher) called “a heartfelt modern illumination of the Sufi path, filled with the fragrance of the ancients”, and Russell Brand (social critic, actor, with six-million social media followers) described as “an incredible insight into Sufism and an intelligent way for rational people to know God”.
Kabir Helminski is one of the world’s most recognized teachers of Sufism. Named one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims in the world by Georgetown University and the Royal Strategic Studies Center, Helminski and his teachings are touchstones for the growth of interest in Sufism, and his books have been translated around the world. Drawing on the work of the beloved Sufi poet Rumi, as well as traditional material and personal experience, this book integrates the ancient wisdom of Sufism with the needs of contemporary life.
Awakening presence is the most direct means of unlocking and cultivating what is most intrinsically human. It is in this state of “presence”, Sufi teachings reveal, that we can commune with the divine, and the divine can live through us. With unique clarity, this audiobook describes in practical steps the principles of Sufism that can lead us to the transformational point of contact within our own being, where our isolated ego personality meets the infinite dimension of spirit.
