Mingled Waters: Sufism and the Mystical Unity of Religions Pir Zia Inayat Khan

Mingled Waters: Sufism and the Mystical Unity of Religions gives an account of the deep ecumenism of Sufism as evidenced in a variety of historical, literary, intellectual, and spiritual convergences. Drawing on the Quran, prophetic traditions, classical Sufi sayings, traditional stories, and verses from Arabic, Persian, and Urdu divans, Mingled Waters examines the inner teachings of Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from the perspective of Sufi gnosis. In the rivers of all the worlds revealed traditions the same water flows, the water of divine revelation. Mingled Waters peers into a handful of its sparkling drops.
