Looking In

5 Ramadhan, 1447

I wouldn't claim that Seyyed Hossein Nasr's The Garden of Truth is easy reading. At times the prose is dense and the reader needs to tune into quite a number of technical terms, predominantly in Arabic. But after an encounter with the daily news there's something refreshing about a voice providing a quiet, calm sense of authority. 


This reader is more than happy to surrender to the demands involved, just to catch a glimpse of the beauties of the garden.
