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 "e;lifelong contendedness,"e; "e;a spirit of chivalry,"e; "e;becoming soil to grow roses,"e; "e;balance and moderation,"e; "e;being self-critical,"e; "e;not to be dizzy with worldly pleasures,"e; and "e;sincerity of intention."e; Nourished from a millennium old accumulation of knowledge and tradition, Gulen speaks of preserving one's "e;chastity of thoughts"e; but not lagging behind, and instead soaring across the "e;horizons of spiritual knowledge."e; For Gulen, a healthy society is built on a "e;happy marriage,"e; observing the "e;rights of neighbors,"e; "e;sound reason,"e; and "e;asking for forgiveness."e; Above all, his faith rests on a firm belief that "e;God is sufficient"e; for all.This work will be a source of inspiration for all the travelers' journeying to noble ideals.
