Where the two seas meet
Book Description
In the mystical tradition of Islam, the encounter between Moses and the enigmatic figure of al-Khidr represents one of the most profound explorations of spiritual wisdom and divine mystery. This scholarly work delves into how three distinguished medieval Sufi masters interpreted this pivotal Quranic narrative, revealing layers of meaning that speak directly to the seeker's journey toward enlightenment.
Through carefully translated commentaries appearing in English for the first time, readers gain access to authentic teachings from practicing Sufi authorities who understood the intricate dynamics of spiritual transformation. These masters illuminate the complex relationship between teacher and student, distinguishing between those who provide instruction and those who offer deeper companionship on the path.
The analysis extends beyond traditional religious commentary to examine fundamental questions that have captivated spiritual seekers across centuries. How do we understand death and what lies beyond it? What role does compassion play in our spiritual development? How does inner knowledge differ from ordinary understanding? The author weaves these timeless concerns together with contemporary psychological insights, creating a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern inquiry.
For those drawn to mystical traditions and the psychology of spiritual growth, this exploration offers both scholarly depth and practical insight into the nature of divine guidance and human transformation.
