This issue explores the intersections of mindfulness, spiritual devotion, and the search for unity. In his discourse, Alireza Nurbakhsh examines mindfulness as a neutral skill that becomes transformative when guided by a spiritual aim. Essays expand the conversation: Mark Nepo suggests the mind as an inlet to life’s flow, Paul W. Jacob shares a path of “Nomadic Devotion,” and Gregory Maxwell Bruce with Ali Altaf Mian examine Rumi’s reception in colonial India. Narratives and poetry add texture and immediacy, with verses by Alireza and others echoing longing and love. The issue closes with CultureWatch on commodifying spiritual figures, reminding us that spiritual depth resists reduction to marketplace trends.
