The pain of love became the medicine for every heart,
The difficulty could never be solved without love.
—Attar

The Paradoxes of Love explores the theme of mystical love. The heart's relationship to God is one of the greatest mysteries, for He is both far and near, both awesome and intimate. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee looks at many of the paradoxes of the path, and how these seeming opposites are united within the heart.

Combining his own experiences with the teaching and wisdom of the Sufi path, Dr. Vaughan-Lee shows how love reveals its hidden nature. The Paradoxes of Love will be of interest to anyone making the heart's journey. It will help the traveller to understand the ways of mystical love: the bewildering, wonderful way that the divine makes Itself known.
