This issue gathers the twin Sufi emphases of love in action and inner remembrance, unfolding through scriptural roots, symbols of transformation, companionship on the path, and the arts of listening and craft. In his discourse, Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh sets out the two principal messages of Sufism: to love and serve others, and to turn the heart toward the One. The essays trace Qur’anic foundations, Abu Sa‘id’s teaching, the pearl’s symbolism, themes of nature, and sama‘ as sacred struggle; stories portray friendship and surrender; “Masters of the Path” profiles Munes ‘Ali Shah; and the poetry closes the issue with meditations on portraiture, struggle, and longing.
