The Sufi Guide to Inner Peace
Finding Stillness in a World That Never Stops | 36 REFLECTIONS FOR THE END OF THE DAYBy Maria Sorush
Length1h 48m
About this audiobook
What if peace is not a place you have to reach, but a way of walking?
The Sufi Guide to Inner Peace is a gentle companion for the end of the day. In thirty-six short chapters, each a few minutes long, it brings the wisdom of the Sufi tradition into the life you actually live: the restless mind at night, the worry about tomorrow, the habit of comparing, the tight grip on people and plans, the quiet ache of being misunderstood.
Each chapter opens a different door. You will meet the elephant in the dark room, the shepherd whose prayer was clumsy and true, the birds who made excuses before the journey, and the old coat that keeps a person kind. Along the way you will find ideas such as presence, trust, patience, remembrance, forgiveness and humility, explained in plain, warm language, without jargon.
This is not a course and it does not give homework. There are no exercises, no steps and no promises to fix your sleep or your anxiety. It offers something simpler: beautiful old stories, honest reflections and a calm voice to keep you company.
Perfect for readers of Rumi and Persian poetry, for anyone curious about Sufism, and for anyone who wants a quieter hour before bed. Read it in order or open it anywhere. Keep it by your bed.
