The Octagon Press

This book, by an almost unknown Persian sage of the 13th century, rapidly became, and has ever since remained, one of the greatest classics of spirituality in the East. Five hundred years after it was written, two travelers introduced it to the West. This version was translated by Johnson Pasha in the 19th century from a text prepared for the Aga Khan.

Shabistari's Secret Rose Garden (1317 A.D.) must be reckoned among the greatest mystical poetry of any time or land. Treating such themes as the Self and the One, The Spiritual Journey, Time and this DreamWorld, and the ecstasy of Divine Inebriation, Shabistari's work is a perennial witness to the capabilities and destiny of humanity. Stressing the One Light that exists at the heart of all religious traditions, Shabistari's work is one of the clearest and most concise guides to the inner meaning of Sufism, and offers a stunningly direct exposition of Sufi mystical thought in poetic form:
<ul>"I" and "you" are but the lattices, in the niches of a lamp, through which the One Light shines.<li>"I" and "you" are the veil between heaven and earth/ lift this veil and you will see no longer the bonds of sects and creeds.</li>
<li>When "I" and "you" do not exist, what is mosque, what is synagogue? what is the Temple of Fire?</li>
</ul>
An introduction by editor David Fideler discusses Shabistari's work in terms of its historical setting and the traditions of Persian Sufism, Shabistari's relationship with the thought of Ibn 'Arabi, and the significance of Sufism in the contemporary world.

The Secret Rose Garden

Phanes Press

Garden of Mystery, the 'Gulshan-i Raz', holds a unique position in Persian Sufi literature. It is a compact and concise exploration of the doctrines of Sufism at the peak of their development that has remained a primary text of Sufism throughout the world from Turkey to India. It comprises a thousand lines of inspired poetry taking the form of answers to questions put by a fellow mystic. It provides a coherent literary bridge between the Persian 'school of love' poetry and the rapidly growing number of metaphysical and gnostic compositions from what had come to be known as the school of the 'Unity of Being'. Translated by Robert Darr who has for thirty-five years been a student of classical Islamic culture.
