Quotes from The Search for Truth

The Search for Truth: The Life and Teaching Methods of the Indian Sufi Shaykh Maulvi Muhammed Saeed Khan

by Shaykh al-Tariqat Hazrat Azad Rasool

Fons Vitae, Louisville, Kentucky, 2010.   166 pages

"This is a book about the teaching and learning process itself, the process of spiritual refinement and what it means to be successful on the Naqshbandi-Mujaddidi Sufi path." (p. xvi)

"Hazrat Azad Fasool spent more than 55 years of his life working tirelessly to spread the message of Sufism across the world, particularly the West. The goal of Sufism is the development of certain noble qualities such as the purification of the self, purification of the heart, moral etiquette, doing what is beautiful, nearness to God, inner knowledge, annihilation in God, and subsistence in God. In short the true purpose of Sufism is to transform the seeker into a highly humane and moral person by building the seeker’s character through spiritual training." (p. 43)
