About the author

Hazrat Inayat Khan (Urdu: عنایت خان ) (July 5, 1882 – February 5, 1927) was an exemplar of Universal Sufism and founder of the "Sufi Order in the West" in 1914 (London). Later, in 1923, the Sufi Order of the London period was dissolved into a new organization formed under Swiss law and called the "International Sufi Movement". He initially came to the West as a representative of classical Indian music, having received the title Tansen from the Nizam of Hyderabad but soon turned to the introduction and transmission of Sufi thought and practice. His universal message of divine unity (Tawhid) focused on the themes of love, harmony and beauty. He taught that blind adherence to any book rendered any religion void of spirit.

sometimes I stumble upon books 'randomly'. such randomness can become determining a whole new period of my life. let's see what this brings on.

Such beautiful and True words. His message is perennial and yet is liberated from the unnecessary sectarianism which defines today's exoteric religious institutions. He gives great analogies to explain his ideas and presents amazing stories to illustrate and help sink in these immortal teachings. Well worth the read and something to read slowly so as to taste every word and letting it sink into ones soul.
