Listening to – Samaneri Jayasฤra on her channel Wisdom of the Masters
A reading of Sanai’s beautiful and profound, The Walled Garden of Truth.
Translated by David Pendlebury. Born in Ghazni in the south of Afghanistan sometime during the eleventh century, Sanai is considered one of the most influential early mystics from the Persian region.
Despite his strong influence not much is known about his life and much is gleaned from his poetry which is often autobiographical.
His name is generally spoken of in the same breath as Shaikh Fariduโd-Din โAttar, both of whom are have been a major influence on those mystics and poets who followed in their tradition.
Rumi acknowledged Hakim Sanai and Attar as his two primary inspirations, saying, โAttar is the soul and Sanai its two eyes, I came after Sanai and Attar.โ
