Ebook: The Inner Life

The joy of this discovery of God everywhere and in all things infuses the writings of Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927), the Indian teacher who first brought Sufism—Islam’s mystical tradition—to the Western world. Though Sufism’s popularity has continued to grow in the time since he lived and taught, and many other wonderful teachers have come and gone, Inayat Khan’s special ability to convey the essence of the Sufi path remains unsurpassed.

This book contains three of Inayat Khan’s essays, taken from among his voluminous collected works: “The Inner Life,” “Sufi Mysticism,” and “The Path of Initiation and Discipleship.” It also includes a previously unpublished essay, “The Path of the Mystic,” and selected aphorisms.
