The Aphorisms
300 brief aphorisms, to be reread across a lifetime. Choose your path of reading: walk through the book as it was written, or enter by a theme that calls to you today.
I
Read by chapter
Follow the book in its order: 24 chapters, the 4 letters and the Munājāt. At your own pace, as one turns the pages.
II
Read by theme
Enter by what dwells in you — trust, speech, weariness, return, gratitude. The aphorisms of the Ḥikam gathered around a single watchfulness.
