You will be drawn to the Naqkhsbandiya sufi order if you read this book.

”The sacred words of the saints are gathered from the light of the Muhammadan Reality. The speech of the saints deserves to be treated with the same respect as the Qur'an and the Prophetic tradition (hadith]. If someone seeks good fortune for himself, he must accord due reverence to the speech of the saints.” Bwuh?

"The Greatest Shaikh [Ibn 'Arabi] writes that he once saw Allah in the form of a horse.” Bwuh?

“In his book, one of the great saints interprets Bismillah (In the name of Allah) to mean Bismi 'l-insani-'l kamil (In the name of the perfect human being). This interpretation met with extreme disapproval from the religious scholars of the time, so they went and asked the venerable Mawlana Jami about it. He said:

That is the interpretation of the term ism (name). It is not the interpretation of the word Allah” Are you sure you should be recommending this book to people?

Antithesis:

When the Sufi masters said: "All existence is a single entity, than which there is no other," they invited questions like: "Since this implies that everything is without antithesis, what is all this conflict and collision between the believers and the unbelievers?" They answered by quoting a few lines from the Mathnawi:

When the colourless fall captive to colour,
Moses does battle with Moses.
If colourlessness comes and antithesis departs,
Moses and Pharaoh become one.” It's not as bad as the Kitabut Tawasin, though...
