Teachings of the Sufis

This edition presents selected lectures by the Indian musician and philosopher Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882–1927) dedicated to Sufism. The master did not write theoretical works, but expressed his ideas orally, generously sharing his inspiring thoughts with all who were interested.... Accordingly, this collection includes summaries of the lectures given by H.I.Khan during his early years in Europe (the 1910s). By reading this book, you will become acquainted with the depth and richness of Sufi philosophy in its practical application. Often, the presentation takes the form of examining typical life situations that each of us has probably encountered more than once. By providing such examples, H.I.Khan analyzes them and offers a recipe for resolving the arising problems based on the teachings of the Sufis. The publication is intended for a wide audience interested in Sufism.
