Dust and Flame: Mystic Poetry and Spiritual Reflections on Life, Longing and Inner Fire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798292681823)

A philosophical prose in which a mystic, Sufi master searches for the messiah to deliver the message. He must empty the vessel of wisdom he has been carrying for fifty years. He was just a bridge between the great master Shams and the new Disciple Gushpur . A metaphysical introspection through the lenses of poetry into the human endeavours, the elements of life.

Old master advised the new master: When looking for the disciple the new master must see Three things:

First, he throws himself to the wind, he is oblivious to the charms and darkness that is beheld in the hearts of people. He has a wisdom of his own, a unique way of looking at the world. He is an intuitive learner. His features are of a Sufi , slow in his walk as if he is borrowing moments from the universe. Silent as he is listening to the conversation of wind, mountains, and deserts. Joyful as each moment borrowed was to rejoice.

Second, he must have a deep cut in his family, a family rose of conflict against the norms of society. As art and spirituality don't recognize themselves in an object. They are a simple form of innocence. Innocent is the one who has given away himself from harming anyone.

Third, his physical features are blushed with sprinkles of joy and innocence. A dark shade beneath his eyes is desired by many. The tone is soft like a mother's lullaby to a newborn child. Warmth like a father, boldness like a brother, simplicity like a shy lamb, pride like a singing parrot. A mere being born to deliver a message with fathom in the heart.
