Through discussions on topics such as spiritual purity, the presence of the heart before God, and the stations of the spiritual wayfarer, Khomeini elucidates upon the nature of reality as the countenance of the divine. Drawing upon scriptural sources and the Shīʿah intellectual and mystical tradition, the subtlety of the work has led to it being appreciated as one of Khomeini's most original works in the field of gnosis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAyatollah Ruhollah Khomeini\u003c\/b\u003e (1902-1989) - often known in the West simply as 'The Ayatollah' - was a Shīʿah Muslim religious authority, the author of over fifty books, and the founder of the modern-day Islamic Republic of Iran.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSayyid Amjad H.
