Wisdom Crystalized

Although there are a number of excellent English-language works on Sufi metaphysics, the level of training typically needed in order to understand them is a bit beyond a basic acquaintance with the topic. And this is perhaps because the difficulties in presenting Sufi metaphysics are inherent to the method in which it is typically presented, namely straight-forward prose writing. Those who have been exposed to traditional Islamic teaching-texts know just how effective non-prose methods of instruction can be. Following this time-honored practice, Wisdom Crystalized will attempt to present Sufi metaphysics in the form of an English-language poem in 23 verses with commentary.

Course Summary:

As one author has said so rightly, Sufi metaphysics is a perfect blend of “the ecstasy of spiritual union” and “the rigor of logic.” Presenting Sufi metaphysics in versified form can therefore give seekers a creative window into a rather complicated topic, while also serving as a teaching guide for those who wish to employ its tenets in their own existential quests and projects of self-discovery.
