Fly with Attar in Mystic Skies Hossein Eshraghi

The knowledge of God and worshiping Him is the aim of our life, and we are all the travelers in this journey, but some of us are aware and other are in doubt. This book is about the aim and the map of this journey, based on the work of Attar, one of the highest and well known mystic in the world. Attar explains to us the stages and the conditions of this journey. Originally written in Persian poetry and under the name of "The Conference of the Birds"; the Seven Valleys of Attar is a poetic treatise on the methodology of mysticism. Attar scatters the fragrances of knowledge of God on earth, he burns like a lamp to turn on the candle of our soul, and helping us to find the treasures in our inward. Attar's work is like a necklace of pearls, but Attar scattered every pearl in a different direction, making it hard for a traveler to find the way. This is a free adaptation, compilation and translation of that colossal work, now it is written and codified in simple way and short sentences for easy understanding of the mystic concepts. You see here that necklace of pearls string together, so you can see his work in its order, the simple and naked expressions of this great work. Mysticism is not parable, allegory nor metaphors neither something we cannot understand it, but it makes us wonder because it has a lot of hidden meaning in it. Mysticism is the way of freedom, there is no obligation, pushing or invitation in it. It is a gift from God to us, it means He Loves us. It is the way of our maturity, it is the inner way.
