From the Back Cover:

This book, in which Abdullah shows the strong relationship between the Gurdjieff and Sufi ideas, will be of great value to every person who is interested in learning to work on himself in order to realise his physiological, psychological and spiritual potential. Since Probings was first written, several Gurdjieff books have been published which contain supposedly hidden knowledge given out personally by Gurdjieff to the writers. Abdullah's direct access to this knowledge and more, and an indication of how he came to this understanding, make Probings a unique work.

From the Inside Flap:

Some of Abdullah's objects in writing this book are:to show that man has the possibility of perfecting himself if he wants to;to show that this is a planet where the inhabitants have choice to work or sleep;to show people how to obediently follow their inner voice;to expose the dangers of the goaffadh birds obstructing man's perfecting;to give a method of contacting higher forces;to try to repay some of his debts to the Lord Hazrat Ali, Lord Buddha, Lord Zoroaster, Mr Gurdjieff, Pir O Murshid Inayat Khan, Musharaff Khan, Ramdas, and all who have helped him on the path.
