'A Veiled Gazelle', as the great mystic Ibn Arabi explains in his Interpreter of Desires, is a subtlety, an organ of higher perception. Sufi experientialists refer to the activation of these centres of awareness as the awakening of real knowledge of Truth beyond form.
This book deals with the symbolic and instrumental employment in Sufi studies of its literature: which is seldom didactic and never meant only as entertainment, although regarded in all cultures as some of the world's greatest writing.
