And answer that plague insight.

• Spiritual Faculties
• Spiritual Organs
• Knowledge and Gnosis
• Wisdom and Perfection

Sufis' knowledge of God is not based on what anyone has told them, but rather comes through personal experience of traversing the inner realms that connect each human being with his or her Source. This volume explores the “Spiritual Faculties” (translated as understanding, remembering, intuition, insight, imagination, etc.) by which we “sense” inner realities, the “Spiritual Organs” which embody the subtler aspects of a human being (soul, spirit, intellect, etc.), and finally, the nature and types of spiritual knowledge, described in the classical writings of the great Sufis.
