The Course of the Seeker

by Omar Ali-Shah

Ever since its first publication in 1988, this book has become recognized as a major document in 20th C Sufism, being one of the first books in which one can actually witness the process of a spiritual teaching taking place. What we have is a series of edited transcripts of a Sufi teacher talking to his pupils and laying down a baseline of references that can be incorporated into our own way of thinking, assuming we choose to do so. Just as his father Ikbal Ali Shah and his brother Idries Shah produced a body of literature, Omar Ali-Shah has produced a body of documents that reconcile our own disturbed and anguished epoch with a way of thinking and teaching that has existed since the dawn of mankind.
