'Whoever cannot find a temple in his heart, the same can never find his heart in any temple.'
Written by a close friend and biographer of Kahlil Gibran (see The Prophet and the Art of Peace, 210607), The Book of Mirdad is a masterpiece of spiritual wisdom to rank alongside The Prophet. It is a timeless allegorical story about a mysterious stranger, Mirdad, who visits the remote mountain monastery of the Ark. There he assumes the role of teacher to the nine chosen Companions, and through his dialogue with them, we are given teachings which show us how it is possible to transform our consciousness and uncover the God within, by dissolving our sense of duality. The Book of Mirdad is among the great religious classics of the twentieth century and deserves to be the constant companion of any spiritual seeker.
'I have read and re-read The Book of Mirdad many times. It once took me one-and-a-half years, there was so much spiritual food to digest in it! At the time I was very conscious of being entirely alone, and this, along with the Tao Te Ching, was my closest spiritual companion. It would help me to redirect my thoughts away from everyday nonsense, into fields which were sustaining and nurturing for my soul. Yet there are no pretensions - it is also just a story, and can be read as such. It was precisely to enable people to find books like this that we started Cygnus.' Geoff Napier
