| Quotation | Yes, I know the Way of the Pilgrim very well. It is a fine book. The Russian mystics are too little known. I believe that the "Jesus Prayer" has parallels with certain Sufist methods of prayer: I have read about this somewhere. I would be grateful for any information that occurs to you about Sufist ways of prayer and contemplation. |
