"I Heard God Laughing: Renderings of Hafiz"
- by Hafiz (Author), Daniel Ladinsky (Author), Henry S. Mindlin (Author), H. Wilberforce Clarke (Author)
Book Description (Amazon.com Reader Review):
On its surface this collection of simple wisdom would appear almost New-Agey in terms of
its contents. The book is essentially just a series of messages sent from a "seeker" to
a loved one. Yet there is much that lies beneath the surface and that is very, very genuine
at play here. It is in fact the perfect antidote to the sort of fluff that passes for
spiritual writing these days. These are messages addressed to the "real" selves that all
of us harbour, to the godhead that dwells inside us. Divine light shines through the pages
of this book. Forget the self help books for once and allow your mind and spirit to drink
in the celestial essence that Hafiz, et al impart. For a real journey of the spirit, take
this book along with you to someplace peaceful and quiet and let yourself travel.
