The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927) was the very first teacher to bring Sufism to the Western world. This is the first representative collection of the master's teachings -- making it the perfect book for anyone who has been intrigued by his writings but unsure about where to start in his sixteen-volume collected works.

Long-time students will find the book a valuable reference to the essence of his teaching on a variety of subjects. Each chapter includes a wealth of material taken from Inayat Kahn's works on a particular subject, such as Mysticism, Discipleship, Music, Children, or Divine Intimacy, followed by a selection of his short sayings and aphorisms on the same topic.
