Love is a Fire
Love is a Fire: The Sufi's Mystical Journey Home | Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
1 post | 1 read
The work of The Golden Sufi Center is to make available the teachings of the Sufi path. Based on live talks and meetings with Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, this is an introduction to the passion and wisdom of the Sufi path of love. The call of the heart and how it draws us back to divine union is one of mankind's greatest secrets, and for the Sufi, this love is a fire that burns away all traces of separation. Vaughan-Lee teaches how to live this burning and describes stages of the path of love on the soul's journey home. Love Is a Fire includes descriptions of the "friends of God," early Sufi saints who burned with the fire of divine love, including Rumi, Ibn 'Arabi, and Rabi'a. It also introduces elements of the path and important tools that purify the wayfarer: tauba, the moment of the turning of the heart when the soul remembers its divine origin; dhikr, the central Sufi practice of remembrance of God through repetition of the name of God or a sacred phrase; meditation, a way of drowning thoughts in the fire of love; and dreamwork, a way of listening and attuning to the mystery of what is hidden within us—the stories of our deeper selves.

I love the way he can just caress the heart so gently and kindly.
I‘ve read plenty of his books.
For those who enjoy spiritual books, and are seeking the path of love, I highly recommend this.
I found myself pondering over something as I pause while reading, only to find him answering to my ponders a little while after.
It‘s like the book chose me.
