Sometimes the treasures we are looking for are already within us, but it can take a long journey far away to discover this. Khorasan is a historical region of Persia that provides the destination of this spiritual journey, where we discover the answers to the secrets of this world were inside us all along. ‘Khorasan’ can be heard on Sami Yusuf’s 2014 album ‘The Centre’.
