  • The Lover's Tailor's Shop: tomorrow I'll go there wrapped in my long cloak, with a hundred yards of madness. The Tailor snips you from Jones and stitches you to Smith, pairing you with one, separating you from the other, sew your heart to one of them for a liftime -- such silken thread! wonderful stitches! miraculous hand! Then, when your heart is fixed, he rips out the seam, snick! snick! With the scissors of "Get ye down from it!"* All this sewing together and tearing apart bewilders me, my mi... Read More

  • Reflections on the Subjects of Philosophy, Psychology and Mysticism in the Teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan by Hidayat Inayat-Khan Those who are God-realized speak little about that experience, unlike those who have not yet reached inner realization, who try to conceal their doubts with a display of knowledge.

It is our relation to God. What is mysticism? It is our realization of God. What is philosophy? It is our consideration of God. But what connects man with God and God with man? It is the Love-Light-Life described as Logos. So soon as any speech, thought or feeling connects man with God, some of this Universal Ener... Read More

I lost a lot of strength because of these injuries and only recently have started t... Read More

  • DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF SUFISM Sufism is the old school of quietism; the ancient school of wisdom which has been the origin of many cults of a mystical and philosophical nature. As the origin of all the occult and mystical schools has been the ancient school of Egypt, so Sufism has always represented that school, and has worked out its destiny in the realm of quietude. From this school of Sufism came four schools. The first was the Nakshiabandia, which worked with symbolism, ritualism and ceremony. The second... Read More

 
  • SUFISM: WISDOM OF ALL FAITHS The word Sufi comes from a Persian word meaning wisdom. From the original root many derivations can be traced; among them the Greek word Sophia is one of the most interesting. Wisdom is the ultimate power. In wisdom is rooted religion, which connotes law and inspiration. But the point of view of the wise differs from that of the simple followers of a religion. The wise, whatever their faith, have always been able to meet each other beyond those boundaries of external forms and ... Read More

 
  • SUFISM BEYOND RELIGION Modem writers have often made mistakes by writing of Sufism as a Persian philosophy or the esoteric side of Islam. Some have erroneously believed it to be a borrowed influence of Vedanta or Buddhism upon Islam. Some Oriental writers have patriotically called it an outcome of Islam in order to secure the credit for their own religion, while some Occidental writers have attempted to win it for Christianity. In fact, according to the sacred history which the Sufis have inherited from on... Read More

 
  • SUFIS THE SPIRIT OF ALL RELIGIONS The word Sufi, or Saf, implies purity, which contains two qualities. That is pure which is unmixed with any element other than its own, or in other words, that is pure which existed in its own element unalloyed and unstained. And secondly, that is pure which is most adaptable. Pure water, for instance, is water without the mixture of anything else, and the test of its purity is that it can adapt itself to whatever is mixed with it. If it is mixed with a red powder it becomes... Read More

 
  • Background on Sufism (lecture in the 1920's) What is meant by the word Sufi? The word Sufi is derived from the Arabic word Safa, or Saf, which means, literally, pure, i.e. pure from distinctions and differences. In Greek the word means wise. Sufism cannot be called deism, for the Sufi does not consider God as an entity separate from oneself. Neither can it be called pantheism, because the Sufi not only sees the immanence of God in nature, but also realizes God?s Essence in the infinite, naming God Allah... Read More
