 The Natural World |
This volume defines the meanings of flowers, lights, classifications
of physical and spiritual places and positions, birds and other animals
in Sufi poetry. One chapter covers the symbolism of alchemy, metals
and another analyzes symbols concerning travel. The interior dimension
of these objects and beings from the physical world is revealed through
the source material cited by the author.
The general reader will be shown the metaphysical standpoint from which
the Sufis behold the universe, and the scholar will be presented with
great deal of material on those themes.
