Title: Living & dying with grace
First published: 1995
Description: Living and Dying with Grace is a book of aphoristic Sufi teachings on how to make one's way in the world - especially on how to bring spiritual insight to the affairs of daily life. Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam, contains a vast body of knowledge concerning the inner development of the complete human being.

Among the greatest of Sufi masters, Hadrat Ali (598-661 CE), cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, is regarded as a paragon of compassion and virtue and a master of both exoteric and esoteric knowledge. He was not only a great warrior, statesman, and scholar, but a devoted husband and father.

This book contains four hundred of Hadrat Ali's teachings, showing how people can use the everyday realities of their lives to cultivate wisdom and well-being, both temporal and eternal, offering a path to living and dying with grace.
