Three texts for a deeper exploration of the practice and impact of meditation.
This work contains fresh translations of three classic Sufi texts from Mughal India: The Alms Bowl of Shaykh Kalimullah Shajehanabadi, The Compass of Truth by Dara Shikoh, and Treatise on the Human Body attributed to Mu’in al-Din Chishti. All three texts are from a period that witnessed a flowering of Sufism in India with innovative personalities, diverse mystical orders, and bold literary expressions. The combined material elucidates meditation practices and the resulting effects in a manner that is both timeless and profound.
“Meditation is the way to instill the values in the heart, to such a depth that the heart itself is transformed. The heart then is not merely an organ in the body, and is not just one’s own personal center; when properly activated through meditation, the heart opens up to reveal the very presence of God with one and with all.”
