The Heart of Sufism: Essential Writings of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan

4.2/5 ( ratings)

There is beauty, purity, and truth in these words of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the mystic and musician who set out from India in 1910 to introduce Sufism to the Western world. This anthology brings together excerpts from the multivolume collected works based on his direct oral teachings to students in America and Europe. It provides an illuminating glimpse into a many-faceted diamond of wisdom, uniting a wide variety of subjects—mysticism and metaphysics, music and poetry, education and the art of personality, spiritual training and practice—within the all-encompassing universal worldview that is the heart of Sufism."With all its variety of subject matter, the Sufi Message is still completely unified, because all these subjects are considered from the mystical point of view of the one divine spirit, penetrating all life, the whole creation. From every angle, Hazrat Inayat Khan's explanations open a window to God and the unity of life. In this way the Sufi Message can offer what the great scientist David Bohm saw as 'the need to restore a coherent culture, a way of thinking and perceiving which brings everything together.'" —from the Introduction by H. J. Witteveen
