365 Tage Sufi-Weisheit

This book holds special significance for our time. The words are sources of strength and reflection, providing impulses, nurturing inner understanding, and opening the heart to the world. A spiritual companion for every day. Saki (or Saqi) is the one who serves wine in Sufi poetry. This wisdom symbolically represents the bearer of ecstasy and the deep longing for the "divine beloved." Selected words from the Sufi master, mystic, and musician Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 - 1927) were first published under this title in 1922 as thoughts for daily meditation. Spiritual commentaries by his student Samuel L. Lewis (1896 - 1971), also known as Murshid Sam, were published in English in 1981 and reissued in 2012. The explanations, which delve into philosophical, historical, and spiritual contexts and uncover hidden meanings, are now also made accessible in German. Sufi Samuel Lewis is at home in Buddhism just as much as in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, as well as in Western philosophy, biology, and quantum physics. However, he is not a theorist; his focus is on spiritual practice, life, and everyday experiences. His examples are consistently practical, concrete, and enlightening. Samuel Lewis is a radical lover, and his comments on the cup of Saki are an inspiring, exciting, and heartwarming companion throughout the year.
