The fact is that these practices are not an assemblage of his (Nurbakhsh's)personal view but the practices were originally conceived to him from Muhammad through the masters of the spiritual chain. If any reader feel doubt in this connection, we would invite them to travel on the long road through the history of mysticism and to compare it with that of Nurbakhsh’s teachings. The research itself will tell you the fact.
