Although he is not from everlasting, yet he lives forever; and though his body is mean and earthly, yet his spirit is lofty and divine. When in the crucible of abstinence he is purged from carnal passions, he attains to the highest, and in place of being a slave to lust and anger, becomes endued with angelic qualities. Attaining that state, he finds his heaven in the contemplation of eternal beauty, and no longer in fleshly delights. The spiritual alchemy which operates this change in him, like that which transmutes base metals into gold, is not easily discovered, nor found in the house of every old woman. It is to explain that alchemy and its methods of operation that the author has undertaken this work, which he has entitled, The Alchemy of Happiness. Now the treasuries of God, in which this alchemy is to be sought, are the hearts of the prophets, and he, who seeks it elsewhere will be disappointed and bankrupt on the day of judgment, when he hears the words, "We have lifted the veil from off thee, and thy sight to-day is keen".

Very nice attempt to translate ghazzali's work. Simplified English language. Easy to cruise through and absorb the depth and wisdom in ghazzali's sayings.
However english language can't even come close to deliver the depth and the richness contained in Arabic language. The main reason I haven't given 5/5 stars is author's deliberate /indeliberate use of word Moslem instead of Muslim One time or more he addressed Muslims as Mohammadens.
English writers are generally advised to pronounce Muslim as Muslim not as Moslem and Quran as Quran not as Koran.Makkah as Makkah not mecca. We are proud to be addressed as Ummah of Muhammad peace be upon him .just refrain from using any other word other than Muslim to address Muslim. The "s" in Islam and Muslim is a "s" sound not a "z" sound .
