I've been aware of this Paulist Press title for many years, but had expected a dry, academic study... that would chafe at my own preference for texts that transmit a living, palpable baraka (spiritual magnetism), therefore it took a few decades to get around to finally ordering a copy. Now, I wish I hadn't waited so long. The book is deep, and filled with beauty. As well, both the translation and scholarship are well up to the high standards one would expect from any of the books in this famous Paulist Press series (Classics of Western Spirituality).Fakhruddin Iraqi: Divine Flashes (Classics of Western Spirituality)
This ancient text, from a follower in the Sufi school of Ibn-Arabi, is a wonderfully done combination of translation and text. The history of this master, with the major concepts he is working in, was fascinating, though it takes study. This sets the stage for the flashes themselves, which are further explained, adding depth, in a later commentary section. The poetry may not appeal to those who want the accessibility and lyric beauty of Rumi; but they are quite beautiful and moving. I find reading The Divine Flashes an excellent way to enter meditation.
Purchased this to add to my Classics of Western Spirituality collection. When I get around to reading it, probably years from now, I'll probably review it then.
Fakhruddin `Iraqi (1213-1289) was already in his time a famous Sufi poet-gnostic, who was particularly gifted in expressing the mysteries of Union in the language of love. He lived during the thirteenth century at the peak of the revival of Islamic spirituality, and was contemporary with such figures as Ibn `Arabi, Jalaluddin Rumi and Shams Tabrizi, Sadruddin Qunawi, Najmuddin Kubra, and Kermani.`Iraqi may be considered as one of the "fideli d'Amore" of Persian Sufism, gnostics who considered love as the foundation of transcendent awareness, such as Mansur al-Hallaj, Ahmad Ghazzali, `Ayn al-Qodhat Hamdhani, Ruzbihan Baqli, and Shihabuddin Suhrawardi."Divine Flashes" is his prose masterpiece, in which he re-wrote, in the language of love, the "Fusus al-Hikam" (lit. "The Seals of the Wisdoms") of Ibn al-`Arabi. Each "Flash" of `Iraqi corresponds with a "Seal of Wisdom" of Ibn al-`Arabi. After his death, `Iraqi was buried, at his request, beside the tomb of Ibn al-`Arabi in Damascus.Through the "Lama'at" (Divine Flashes), the theoshophy of Ibn al-`Arabi was recreated and integrated into the Persion poetic tradition, and its influence on later poets cannot be overestimated.Moreover, according to Sadruddin Qunawi, spiritual heir and stepson of Ibn al-`Arabi, " `Iraqi, you have published the secret of men's words. The "Lama'at" is in truth the pith of the "Fusus"!"I like this text very much, although I had to struggle with this book. I think that the layout could be a little better. I have solved this by doing the following: type out the main text in my computer (while leaving out less important sentences); cut the sentences into a general poetry format. Only then could I more easily go through the text."I gaze at the glass which reveals my beautyand see the universe but an image of that image.In the paradise of theophany I am the Sun: marvel notthat every atom becomes a vehicle of my manifestation."What are the Holy Spirits? - The delegates of my secret;and the shapes of men? - The vessels of my bodily form.World-encircling Ocean? - A drop of my overflowing effusion;purest Light? - But a spark of my illumination."This book is a must-read, must-own for anyone seriously interested in its subject. I keep returning to it, and should have rated it 5 stars.
I am a spiritual traveler, journeying toward the oneness with love. This book of Divine Flashes confirmed to me the importance as I have always felt that Love plays in one's life in the divine sense before entering the Path of Light and how absolutely necessary it is in one's development during the process of inner change and growth. Iraqi shows that unlike many of our christian teachings, an intermidiary is not necessary to approach God. This is a great book for one who has had a number of years already on the Path. If you are Christian it may seem very incorrect in it's teachings; so wait a while and then come back to it. Great book - well worth the investment - and time to read it.
Iraqi chilled with the best of 'em.a dervish that wandered into the same konya that was home to Rumi. a student of Rumi's friend Sadruddin Qunyawi(disciple to Ibn Arabi). Iraqi's Flashes are the synthesis of Ibn Arabi's metaphysics and the love theory from Ahmed Ghazali's Sawanih(the oldest persian work on sacred love by Abu Hamid Ghazali's younger and more mystical bro). while Chittick's great prose translations may never compare to the beauty of the persian originals, the powerful ideas expressed in the poetry trigger enlightening thoughts and awaken the soul.so...while Muslim philosophers say technical things like:"GOD IS THE NECESARRY EXISTANT" or "ALL EXISTANCE IS a Manifestation of DIVINE ATTRIBUTES". the poet Iraqi says NOTHING EXISTS BUT LOVE.You are a LOVER, you just don't know it YET.The book is smack in the face of all who say Islam is a religion of Hate that believes God as a distant vengeful one to obey out of fear.peace.
