Salvation
Author: Nadia Parvin Mou
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728364183
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Originally the book Salvation: A Mystery is imagined by the poet herself to mystify our daily life to be more moral and just to revive our divine self. The poem encourages the poet to merge the entity with Nature to feel the Creator’s glory as it is her harmonious journey towards petty-major lives. Only the poet feels the unique power in unity to diversities. The one color white is the symbol of peace mingling together seven colours to reflect the light. The bower of the poems is decorated with multicolored flowers to feel the more beauty in revelry. Only Nature is the revelation of the God’s entity. In the lover’s realm its soul’s knowledge to love and beloved is our religion. Thus, section Light begins to enlighten our human souls. Section Divine is led by mystique zeal of the poet. The zeal in vision may be true or lie to hear from the unconscious as the poems need to realize the Divine power. To err is human so souls are led to salvation- creation. Creativity is delight, creativity is pain also. Section Knowledge is the replica of experience and the revolt of unconscious. The poems pine for more knowledge as the spirit is splitted itself to reveal the anarchic nation and actually it is a conflict in love between men and women. The beloved soul always pines for “Home sweet home.”

Book Description
"The Mirror and the Staircase" is a captivating collection of Sufi tales, each story unveiling the depths of spiritual and mystical wisdom. This book guides us through the teachings and metaphors of Sufi masters, illustrating the principles of soul purification and spiritual ascent. Sufi tales are more than mere stories; they are mirrors reflecting the profound truths of our existence and staircases leading to spiritual realization. In this collection, each story invites us to explore our own soul, understand our desires and fears, and find inner peace. In the first story, we follow the journey of Rahim, a young man in search of truth, who meets Sheikh Hakim. The Sufi master reveals that the mirror represents his soul, reflecting his thoughts and emotions. Through meditations and teachings, Rahim learns to purify his heart and see divine truth. In another story, Rahim is guided by Sheikh Hakim to an ancient stone staircase, symbolizing the spiritual path. Each step represents a challenge to overcome, a stage in the elevation of the soul towards divine truth. This powerful metaphor teaches us that faith, prayer, and perseverance are the keys to spiritual ascension. The tales are interspersed with inspiring quotes from the Quran and Sufi proverbs, enriching the narratives and offering profound reflections: *"He who knows himself knows his Lord."* - Sufi Proverb *"Do not weaken, and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are believers."* (Quran 3:139) These words invite readers to meditate on their own spiritual journey and find answers in ancient wisdom. Each tale is a step in the soul's transformative journey. The characters, faced with their fears and desires, discover the power of forgiveness, love, compassion, and faith. The stories of Rahim, Leila, Hassan, and others illustrate that life's trials are opportunities for spiritual growth. "The Mirror and the Staircase" is more than just a collection of tales. It is an open door to the eternal wisdom of Sufism, an invitation to discover divine truth within oneself and ascend the steps of spiritual growth. Let these stories inspire you and find inner peace and light in every word. *"Indeed, with hardship comes ease."* (Quran 94:6) Dive into *"The Mirror and the Staircase"* and begin your own quest for truth and wisdom.
