The Sufi Message Vol.IV

by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Sufi Hazrat Inayat Khan (Baroda 1982-Delhi 1927) provides a beautiful guidebook for your inner path. It contains neither prescriptions nor do’s and don’ts. You may be provided with an insight and understanding which may be as a welcome in the circle of Sufi friends, or as a silent companion on your further way. It includes three works-the first, Healing is a collection of teachings on spiritual healing.

In this work the Suri mystic discusses the basic laws governing themind`s influence on the body, which he considers greater than that of the physical body on the mental existence, and he emphasizes the need for a stronger awareness of the possibilities which spiritual healing can offer. Mental Purification is a collection of lectures on the working and hygiene of the mind in relation to the spirit. This part conveys in a beautiful way the synthesis that can be gained between inner life and life in the world. The volume concludes with the Mind World- which in the terms of the Sufi poets is called `The palace of Mirrors` - an expression which Inayat Khan takes as symbolizing on different levels, the whole of life.
