<p>Anyone in search of Reality, must of necessity encounter Sufis on his way, as they are the doorway to Reality. If you wish to stand for an instant on the threshold of this Reality spend an hour in the company of Abu Sa'id, reflecting on his dicta and exempla . . . so sensitively translated here. (Dr. Leonard Lewisohn, Editor, Classical Persian Sufism: from its Origins to Rumi). Abu Sa'id is best known for establishing spiritual centers and rules of Sufi conduct which are followed to this day by traditional Sufi orders. He also introduced musical elements (sama') and dance into the Sufi's ritual. The 100 stories narrated here offer an excellent view into the mystical wisdom of Abu Sa'id and insightful commentary on the teaching methodology of one of the most significant figures in the development of Sufism. (Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar, Author of Sufi Expressions of the Mystic Quest).</p>
