Meeting of Two Seas: Where the heart leads the mind

“Eye-opening in terms of the parity between the Abrahamic faiths, this fine model of scriptural analysis merits study by mystics of any faith.”Kirkus ReviewsThis book is a follow-up toA perspective on the Signs of Al-Quran: Through the Prism of the Heart.Here the heart leads the mind on a journey into the eighteenth chapter of the Holy Quran. This chapter, known asSurah Kahf, has captivated seekers across the ages for its living spiritual appeal. Meeting of two Seas is about a journey which Moses undertakes with Khidr. Though this journey is short, it continues to open doors to others, through our awakening to the meetings of many sets of two seas around us: The meeting of the manifested real and the hidden Real; the meeting of the temporal and the eternal; the meeting of the empirical with the spiritual; and the meeting of physical causes with the Spiritual Cause.

Thei’jazof the Quran is its unfathomable ability to lead us to a scent of the REAL and toward a sense of belonging to IT.Read more
