This is the third volume of the Sufi Message by Hazrat Inayat Khan. In this volume, a substantial part of Hazrat Inayat Khan's writings and lectures on human relationship has been collected. There is his book education which contains a treasure of advice on the upbringing of children soundly practical and imbued with spiritual ideals at the same time. Rasa Shastra is an exposition of Hazrat Inayat Khan's views on sex life the problem of creation and of the relationship between man and woman. And in Character Building and the Art of Personality and in Moral Culture one will find an explanation of the fundamentals which motivate the human attitude both of individuals towards themselves and towards society in general.
People are everywhere to do found, but where is none to find a human being? Individuality is a given, says Hazrat Inayat Khan, but personality must be discovered and created. In a realized personality, the soul expresses its divine inheritance through its thoughts, words, and actions. Hazrat explains, "Personality is the development of individuality, and in personality, which is formed by character-building, is born that spirit which is the rebirth of the soul." Character building is described as the very substance of Sufism. The first two books in this volume, "Character Building" and "The Art of Personality," together delineate a series of capacities of mind and heart that, when carefully contemplated and conscientiously enacted, ripen and refine an individual's nature. The next book, "Moral Culture," contains three sections-on reciprocity, beneficence, and renunciation-that correspond to stages traditionally designated as the law (shari'at), the path (tariqat), and the truth (haqiqat). By extension, these sections correspond to the contemplative stages that Hazrat names concentration, contemplation, and meditation. The last three books consist of previously uncollected lectures on various subjects related to personality, art, and aesthetics. "Consciousness and Personality" includes talks on beauty, influence, innocence, dreams, the shadow, and human destiny. "Art and the Artist" presents Hazrat's teachings on art and nature, copying and improving, observation and illusion, symbolism, art and religion. The find book is "The Art of Music," which contains sections on Indian music, composition, dance, harmony, and music as a divine art. For Hazrat, art in all of its forms is the creative manifestation of the unfurling of the human personality: art completes nature. A powerful piece of art our help us see the natural world around us through new eyes. But the most compelling art of all is not found on brightly painted canvases or in the pages of melodious musical scores. It is discovered, instead, in the personality of a person who has attained the momentous epiphany of self-knowledge. Book jacket.

The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882–1927) was the first teacher to bring Sufism—Islamic mysticism—to the Western world. His teaching was noted for its stirring beauty and power, as well as for its applicability to all people, regardless of religious or philosophical background. This book gathers together three of Inayat Khan's most beloved essays on the spiritual life from among the fourteen volumes of his collected works: "The Inner Life": Inayat Kahn's sublime portrait of the person whose life is a radiant reflection of the Divine "Sufi Mysticism": in which the author identifies and shatters the common misconceptions about mysticism to reveal its true meaning "The Path of Initiation and Discipleship": What it means to set out on the spiritual path and how to find and maintain the right relationship with a teacher
The first teacher to bring Islamic mysticism to the West presents music’s divine nature and its connection to our daily lives in this poetic classic of Sufi literature. Music, according to Sufi teaching, is really a small expression of the overwhelming and perfect harmony of the whole universe—and that is the secret of its amazing power to move us. The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882–1927), the first teacher to bring the Islamic mystical tradition to the West, was an accomplished musician himself. His lucid exposition of music's divine nature has become a modern classic, beloved not only by those interested in Sufism but by musicians of all kinds.
An unparalleled exploration of Sufism as it is practised around the world, describing meetings with today's enlightened teachers as well as including wonderfully inspiring translations of the great Sufi masters of the past. Ultimately, this book acts as a guide to the Sufi path and offers wise insight into the meaning and purpose of life. A compelling view of Sufi history together with vivid personal remembrances of living mystics. This is an inspiring and at the same time beautifully subtle book, with light-filled insights on every page." – Saadi Shakur Chishti, author of The Sufi Book of Life The Sufi path described in this book leads the seeker past ordinary states of consciousness towards a new experience of infinitude that is the source of the universe. In this stage there is no duality or otherness, but instead infinitude, the Original Oneness, from which all dualities and attributes emanate. The book is at once an autobiography, a didactic treatise and a literary opus full of wonderful translations of the words of earlier Sufis, as well as the author's own poetry. It describes Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri’s life quest to connect today’s world with classical times, especially through his meetings with enlightened Sufis all over the globe. Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri also addresses profound Sufi teachings concerning the nature of humankind, the cosmos and God, using clear and simple language to address difficult doctrinal issues as only a master who has digested fully such knowledge could do. The book also reveals much about the present-day Islamic world where, despite the tragedies that are to be seen everywhere, tradition and spirituality survive. This is a metaphysical and spiritual guide to the Sufi path that ultimately offers insight into the meaning and purpose of life.
The works of Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan are one of the great spiritual treasures of the world. At once deeply rooted in the Sufi tradition and strikingly original in insight and expression, Hazrats teachings remain as potent and meaningful today as they were when originally communicated a century ago. These teachings contain a message for every human mind and heart, and indeed for humankind collectively. The aim of this series is to provide the full set of Hazrats best-known teachings in a form that balances fidelity to his original words with sensitivity to the contemporary evolution of the English language.
Spiritual biography of Inayat Khan who came to the West with a message of love, harmony and beauty that was both quintessence of Sufi teachings and a revolutionary approach to the harmonising of Western and Eastern spirituality.
