A Hidden Treasure Who Has Passed On Dr. Martin Lings, also known as Abu Bakr Siraj el Din, was Keeper of Oriental Books and Manuscripts at the British Museum and the British Library. 'Dr Lings saw beneath the surface of things and helped us to penetrate the veil behind which lies the sacred meaning to so many of life's mysteries. He helped us to look beyond the literal and to comprehend that there are many layers of meaning within the hidden universe - something which science is now at last beginning to recognize through the acknowledgement of an inherent order and harmony to the world about us and within us.' Excerpt from the foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales, A Return to the Spirit. |
