Great Sufi Poets of the Punjab & Sindh – hinnat ja saatavuus

Great Sufi Poets of the Punjab & Sindh Translations, Introductions by Paul Smith The ideal of the Punjabi & Sindhi Sufi poets was to find God in all His creation and thus attain union with Him. Thus union or annihilation in God was to be fully achieved after death, but in some cases it was gained while living. This Sufi poetry consequently is full of poems, songs, and hymns praising the Beloved, describing the pain and sorrow inflicted by separation, and ultimately the joy, peace and knowledge attained in the union.
