This insightful collection—and sole translation—of letters from eminent Indian Sufi Sharafuddin Maneri presents his written replies to vast numbers of people during the period 1346–68. Maneri spent the last 40 years of his life in Bihar Sharif, India, in service of others, bringing comfort to the hearts of thousands. Offering personal guidance and encouragement to a variety of individuals, this compilation of his writings does not discuss Sufism outright but instead explores a man who, through his wide breadth of knowledge, spiritual wisdom, sensitivity, and compassion, encompasses the very meaning of Sufism. - A bookseller's blurb.
