Unfortunately no English translation is infallible. However, some recommended versions of these scriptures include:

  • Tanakh: Jewish Publication Society
  • Bhagavad-Gita: Swami Sivananda, Divine Life Society
  • Al-Risalah: Principles of Sufism, Kazi Publications
  • Revelation of the Mystery, Pir Publications
  • Blue Letter Bible (Online)
  • The Way of the Bodhisattva, Shambala
Some of these have the original texts, which is important when cross referencing where the translations came from or what they mean.

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
