Sufism of the Rubaiyat or the Secret of the Great Paradox - Norton F W Hazeldine - Bog

Sufism of the Rubaiyat or the Secret of the Great Paradox is a book written by Norton F. W. Hazeldine that explores the mystical teachings of Sufism through the lens of the Rubaiyat, a collection of poems by the Persian poet Omar Khayyam. The book delves into the paradoxical nature of Sufi teachings and how they relate to the Rubaiyat's themes of love, mortality, and the search for truth. Hazeldine provides an in-depth analysis of the Rubaiyat and its connection to Sufism, as well as insights into the spiritual practices and beliefs of Sufi mystics. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between poetry and spirituality, and offers readers a deeper understanding of the mystical traditions of Sufism.In placing this volume before the public I only hope that I may be able to convey to my readers the higher and deeper truths of this most famous of Persian Poets, who so ably attempted to portray to his countrymen the benevolent God the subtle life within the grosser of our material forms. Also the mysterious force within the grape, which renders possible fermentation, thereby changing its character from matter to spirit. Therefore, I sincerely trust that this may be a means to enlighten many seekers after truth. Hoping that all may realize the spirit in which I here present it, and may it comfort and bless those who read to learn of its sublime truths, is the sincere wish of thy brother man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
