Part history, part devotional work or stranstvie (a literary, religious, and historical wandering), this book seeks to explore, preserve, validate, and through discreet segments-\"On Listening Attentively\", \"On Gentle Words\", \"On Proper Posture\"-record and ruminate on Sufi Islam as practiced in Central Asia across the centuries. The books historical and devotional aspects are made beautiful and compelling through the seekers poetic idiom, his own uncertainty, and his sense of unworthiness in the search for God. Core ideas of love, sacrifice, absence of self, and divine and human purpose find expression in every part of this account, attempting to strike a chord in modern or postmodern lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51327748047136,"sku":"NEW0975444425","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51L9HRrsQqL.jpg?v=1773171336","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/silence-of-the-sufi-and-i-do-call-to-witness-the-self-reproaching-spirit-0975444425","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
