In Search of the Hidden Treasure
I picked up this gem of a book from the Stanford Bookstore at a clearance sale. It's written by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and is about Sufi philosophy.
Here's a stunning example:
--- Quoting from Page 11
The gathering can hear the Sufi dervishes at the Mosque in Mecca repeating a hadith (statement) of the Prophet:
"Man 'arafa nafsahu faqad 'arafu rabbahu"
Whosoever knows himself knows his Lord
--- End Quote
I can't help thinking about the core essence of Vedanta being captured by this hadith.
