Notes	This book discusses the path of the spiritual journey (suluk). The author, Shaykh Mahmud Chishti, was a disciple of Shah Burhan and of Muʿazzam Shah Miranjami Shahpuri, who in turn was a disciple of Shah Kamal al-Din Bayabani. The inclusion of 'Chishti' in the name indicates an affiliation with the Chishti Sufi order.The book outlines the beginning of the spiritual path, discussing the physical body and its four elements: water, air, earth, and fire, and their effects on the development of traits (khasaʾil). It describes the connection of the heart (qalb) with the body, employing Sufi perspectives and examples, and elaborates on the stages of the self (nafs), including the nafs al-ammarah, with evidence from the Qurʾan and prophetic traditions (hadith). The book also addresses the innate instincts connected to the body, progressing to the higher state of the soul (ruh). It covers the adoption of the shariʿah, the practice of dhikr (remembrance) both vocal and silent, the Name of the Divine (ism dhat), the realm of Nasut, the concept of the Oneness of Existence (daʾirah wahid al-wujud), and other Sufism-related topics such as miracles (karamat), spiritual perfection (kamal), love (ʿishq), and the Muhammadan Reality (haqiqat Muhammadiyah). \| Digitization for the Sufi Shrine Libraries of the Afghan-Pakistan Frontier collection was sponsored by the Modern Endangered Archives Program with funding from Arcadia. \| public domain
