Take account of yourselves before you are taken to account
Muhasaba — the daily reckoning with oneself that the masters of the path made the foundation of practice. Hasib asks a few questions a day, drawn from a bank of nearly two hundred, and builds over time a picture of where a reader stands in prayer, in character and in daily life; every gap it finds leads to a chapter. No account is required.
