This is the second of three volumes (X, XI, XII) relating to the spiritual states and stations of Sufism. This volume covers such topics as Etiquette, Contraction and Expansion, Sobriety and Intoxication.
In sufi terminology, etiquette involves one's outer and inner adherence to the guidelines of conduct consistent with the religious law (shari'at), the Path (tariqat) and Reality (haqiqat), without transgressing one's own limits.
