Veiled Gazelle

A ‘Veiled Gazelle’, as the great mystic Ibn Arabi explains in his Interpreter of Desires, is a subtlety, an organ of higher perception. Sufi experientialists refer to the activation of these centres of awareness as the awakening of real knowledge of Truth beyond form. 

A Veiled Gazelle considers the symbolic and instrumental employment of its literature in Sufi studies. Seldom didactic, and never meant only as entertainment, such works are regarded as some of the world’s greatest and most important writing. 

O „Gazela voalata”, asa cum explica marele mistic Ibn Arabi in Interpretul dorintelor sale, este o subtilitate, un organ de perceptie superioara. Experientalistii sufisti se refera la activarea acestor centre de constientizare ca la trezirea cunoasterii reale a Adevarului dincolo de forma. O gazela voalata considera angajarea simbolica si instrumentala a literaturii sale in studiile sufiste.
