Who this is
“The most influential mystic in Islamic history taught that God and the world are mirrors of each other — and eight centuries of Muslims have been arguing ever since about whether that is the deepest truth or the gravest heresy.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“All existence is one Being disclosing itself: the universe is God's mirror, and every creature — including you — is one face of a single, infinite self-revelation.”
