Captain Wahid Baksh Sial’s book is a corrective. He treats Sufism as a living science - not a museum piece - and shows how its insights have enriched mystical traditions across cultures. We especially appreciate his documentation of Sufi influence on Christian and Hindu mysticism, which demonstrates the universal reach of Islamic spirituality. This book belongs in the hands of anyone who takes the spiritual life seriously, regardless of background.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaptain Wahid Baksh Sial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was a scholar, translator, and spiritual seeker.
