First published in 1986. The present volume is a complete translation of the Sawanih, written by the Persian Sufi master Ahmad Ghazzali with a commentary by the translator. The title of this book, to Sufis, means the inspirations that a mystic experiences on his journey through the world of the Spirit (cālam-i rāh) or, as it is sometimes called, the world of Pure Spirits (cālam-i arwāḥ).
