He whose heart is aware of the Lovers' world
hears nothing but the whispering of Love,
a tongue unknown to ordinary men.

The Path provides perhaps the most complete and detailed account available of the aim and method, the living practice of Sufism in the contemporary world.

"The sufi is one who is a lover of the Truth, who by means of love and devotion moves toward the Truth, toward the Perfection which all are truly seeking. Having traveled the Spiritual Path (Tariqat), the disciple becomes a perfect being and arrives at the threshold of the Truth (Haqiqat)."

Drawing on content originally published in The Tavern of Ruin and In the Paradise of the Sufis, this single volume is revised and updated by Dr. Nurbakhsh for the audience in a new era.
