Critics Review
“Few writers have been as important to the understanding of Islamic mysticism as Hazrat Inayat Khan … These writings are an eloquent introduction to a spiritual path that encourages seekers to discover their inner spirituality amidst the business of everyday life.”–Publishers Weekly
“Inayat Khan is masterful, patient, and exacting in teaching the way of ‘getting to the center of life.”–Yoga Journal
“Inayat Khan brought one of the strongest and sweetest lineages from India to the West: the music and open heart of Sufism as it blends with Persian poetry and Western intellect. He is a source and a great joy.”–Coleman Barks, author of Open Secret and The Essential Rumi
About The Author
Hazart Inayat Khan
Hazrat Inayat Kahn, founder of the Sufi order in the West, was born in India in 1882. A master of classical Indian music by the age of twenty, he relinquished a brilliant career to devote himself to the spiritual path. In 1910, acting upon the guidance of his teacher, he became one of the first teachers of the Sufi tradition in the West. For a decade and a half he travelled throughout Europe and the US giving lectures and guiding an ever-growing group of seekers. In 1926, he returned to India where he died the following year.
