Fakhruddin 'Iraqi: divine flashes

---

This ancient text, from a follower in the Sufi school of Ibn-Arabi, is a wonderfully done combination of translation and text. The history of this master, with the major concepts he is working in, was fascinating, though it takes study. This sets the stage for the flashes themselves, which are further explained, adding depth, in a later commentary section. The poetry may not appeal to those who want the accessibility and lyric beauty of Rumi; but they are quite beautiful and moving. I find reading The Divine Flashes an excellent way to enter meditation..
