The Book of Mirdad: A Lighthouse and a Haven
About This Book
Written by the Lebanese-American mystic and poet Mikhail Naimy, this extraordinary allegorical novel is set in an ancient monastery on a mountain-top, where a mysterious stranger named Mirdad gradually draws out the deepest spiritual teaching from each of the monks through encounter, dialogue, and silence. The book is considered by many — including Osho — to be one of the most profound spiritual texts ever written, its lyrical prose carrying an unmistakable quality of genuine inner realization.
What You'll Learn
The teaching of Mirdad can be reduced to one statement: God is All, and All is God — the apparent multiplicity of the universe is one self-aware, self-loving Being. The ego is not a reality but a dream — the dream of separation from the All that is the root of all fear, all suffering, and all conflict. Love is not an emotion but the very nature of reality — when the ego dissolves, what remains is not emptiness but this boundless, self-radiant Love.
