Summary "The Sufism of the Rubáiyát, or, the Secret of the Great Paradox" by Norton F. W. Hazeldine is a philosophical treatise that delves into the spiritual and mystical interpretations of the famous Persian poet Omar Khayyam's works, particularly the "Rubáiyát." Written in the early 20th century, this book provides an exploration of Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam, through the lens of Khayyam's poetry. It likely aims to uncover the deeper truths behind life, existence, and the paradoxes that define the human experience. In this text, Hazeldine presents Khayyam's reflections on the nature of life, death, and the divine, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of self-realization. The work unfolds as a poetic journey where the author illustrates the nuances of life through various metaphysical concepts and allegories, encouraging readers to seek knowledge and enlightenment. Hazeldine touches upon themes such as the significance of time, the essence of happiness, and the transformative power of love and experience, ultimately advocating for a life lived with purpose and in harmony with the cosmos.
