Journey to Noble Ideals: Droplets of Wisdom from the Heart

Journey to Noble Ideals is a compilation of speeches Fethullah Gulen delivered in Pennsylvania, USA, between 2012 and 2013. The book provides guidelines to build our individual ladders to self-discovery. In Gulen’s prescription, climbing this ladder requires lifelong contendedness,
a spirit of chivalry,
becoming soil to grow roses,
balance and moderation,
being self-critical,
not to be dizzy with worldly pleasures, and sincerity of intention. Nourished from a millennium old accumulation of knowledge and tradition, Gulen speaks of preserving one’s chastity of thoughts but not lagging behind, and instead soaring across the horizons of spiritual knowledge. For Gulen, a healthy society is built on a happy marriage, observing the rights of neighbors,
sound reason, and asking for forgiveness. Above all, his faith rests on a firm belief that God is sufficient for all.This work will be a source of inspiration for all the travelers’ journeying to noble ideals.
