Fariduddin Attar’s Tadhkaratul Aulia or Memories of Saints

This book is an English translation of selections from the Tadhkara. In this volume will be found sayings of sixty-two saints of the highest order and incidents of their lives, placing before the keen seekers after truth an account of the tense yearning that burnt in the hearts of the great Sufis who, by stating their experiences, taught the sublimest and simplest way to realisation and also how to escape the vagaries that beset the seekers treading the Path.
