About this title

From the Publisher:

This book of verse begins with the movement from the unlimited gift of glory, through the pillage of heart and soul in modern life, ending with the yearning desire for liberation. Extraordinary, brilliant images make us aware of what we yearn for, and lead us to awareness of the need for spiritual sustenance. It ends with the universal plea: "Unfold my wings, set me to fly, from the fortress of these dungeon walls, my liberation grant." The volume includes translations in seven languages (Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Persian, Spanish).

Passage taken from page 8.

O soul of souls, my soul was not all you took away,
My heart and belief you pillaged as well.

Your alluring and shining guidance kindles,
The flaming dance of passion and ecstasy so dear.

My portion from your everlasting and inspiring soul I take,
'Til absolute awareness is my enraptured state.

Though, I am enclosed in the coercion of time,
Yet, the resplendent flame of this lantern I am.

Unfold my wings, set me to fly,
From the fortress of these dungeon walls,
my liberation grant.

Passage taken from page 1.

Through intricate labyrinths revolves
the way to the hidden secrets of heart.
And within His authority lies
the key to this treasure's door.
Should the hand of Him, the treasure's Lord,
open your treasure's door,
To your soul He will reveal
the precious essence of this secret.
