Many books have been written about the study of Sufism, but very few have been written describing its experience.

The Quest and the Qalandar gives the reader an idea of what the experience of the Sufi path is like from the words of a living Sufi master, Murshid Waqar Faiz Qalandar. This book is unique in that while there are some books written conveying the experiences of Sufi masters, almost none have been written from the perspective of a Qalandar. The topics discussed in this book reflect the all-encompassing nature of the path, how it is about forming friendship with the Divine and realizing one's connection with one's Creator as a human being.
