The Dance of the Soul

by Hazrat Inayat Khan

This collection of aphorisms is just a gem of wisdom and mysticism with a touch of humour. It helps you to discover your very being at the same time as hinting practical solutions for your daily life: feeling, thinking, speaking, acting. It is the only book Hazrat Inayat Khan actually wrote himself. All the others (vide The Sufi Message, Vols. I-XIII) are representations of his discourses. Besides aphorisms it contains a small yet highly inspiring collection of prayers. Throughout the book you will find poems which are truly spiritual.

About the Author:

Hazrat Inayat Khan was a Sufi teacher from India who started "The Sufi Order in the West" (now called the Sufi Order International) in the early part of the 20th century. Though his family background was Muslim, he was also steeped in the Sufi notion that all religions have their value and place in human evolution.

Inayat was born into a family of musicians in 1882. His grandfather was a well-known musician respected as a composer, performer, and developer of a musical annotation which combined a group of diverse musical languages into one simplified integrated notation.
