When he attended a lecture by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, then spiritual leader of the Sufi Order International, Gowins knew he had come home. Now, after decades of training with Pir Vilayat and of teaching others, he offers this wise, funny, compassionate book, full of engaging stories and meditational exercises.

It is the first strong introduction to the Sufi Order and reveals the value of Sufi wisdom to all seekers, no matter what their spiritual path. Gowinss focus on Sufi teachings of patience, authenticity, commitment, surrender, and love will be universally helpful.

Joy is real, and depression is not inevitable, he says. Celebrate your problems, for that is the key to enjoying life.

Yet when we take stock of that in which we truly are abundant, and choose to share it freely with everyone whose life we touch, we find that what we thought was abundance--money--comes to us freely.Even this chain of events, however, many of us cannot accept.

For when we think of money, we imagine that it is an experience and an energy that stands outside of the reality of God. Yet there is nothing in the universe that stands outside of the reality of God, that is not a part of God.
