- The Sufis, by Idries Shah. Read by David Ault
‘Perhaps the best introduction to the body of Shah’s work, the most comprehensively informative. And one is immediately forced to use one’s mind in a new way.’
The New York Times
When it first appeared in 1964, The Sufis was welcomed as the decisive work on the subject: rich in scope, clearly explaining the traditions and philosophy of the Sufis to a Western audience for the first time.
In the five decades since its release, the book has been translated into dozens of languages, and has found a wide readership in both East and West.
It is used as a text in scores of leading universities around the world, and the material contained within it has been applied by psychologists and physicists, by school teachers, lawyers, social workers, and by ordinary members of the public.
Ted Hughes wrote of it: ‘An astonishing book. The Sufis must be the biggest society of sensible men on earth’; and Nobel laureate Doris Lessing said of it: ‘I had waited my entire life to read this book.’

This chapter is actually titled "The Dervish Orders" in the book "The Sufis" . . .
I did not know of the Latifah. Thank you for that. I come from the Dharma but approach God as a Muslim. I love the similarity to the Chakras.
I dont agree with Idris Shah’s idea of Sufism that isn’t necessarily attached to any specific religion. And pretty much any westerner of this mind frame, however, none the less, I still enjoy his works and consider them on the orientalist finesse side. My favourite book is the Veiled Gazelle based on ibn Arabi’s poem and because my name means Gazelle and I have always identified with it’s inner meanings.
same. sufism is and will always be part of islam as its tazkiyah un nafs i.e from nafs e ammara to nafs e mutmainna not just a spiritual feeling of ecstacy westerners search for.

Religions, like everything else that enters the world, are subject to the ravages of time : deterioration, old age, death. Therefore the contention is three fold :
1. All existing religions are, to varying degrees, deteriorated belief systems
2. They are deteriorations of one practical methodology for man to evolve forward
3. Sufism is that one practical methodology
It is a contention. Consider it as possibility, no one has to believe it.
