This book answers many of the questions often asked by seekers of inward illumination. 
What are the real implications of the doctrine of divine unity?
How can proper concentration be achieved during spiritual exercises?
When should one avoid participating in Sufi gatherings?
What is the relationship between the tongue, the mind, and the heart?
How is one to understand visions received in sleep?

The work also includes the author's commentary on a poem of inner wayfaring, the Ode of al-Aydarus, which speaks of the most exalted 'stations of the Sufi path, including extinction (fana) and subsistence (baqa).
