The Art of Being and Becoming gathers Inayat Khan's teachings on what the Sufis consider the fruit of the whole creation -- the divine art of creating the human personality. This volume gives methods for training the ego, tuning the heart, and developing will power, all to help one develop and perfect a natural way of being in the world. Excerpt: " For every soul there are four stages to pass through in order to come to the culmination of the ego, which means to reach the stage of the rose. In the first stage a person is rough, thoughtless, and inconsiderate. He is interested in what he wants and in what he likes; as such he is naturally blind to the needs and wants of others. In the second stage a person is decent and good as long as his interests are concerned. As long as he can get his wish fulfilled he is pleasant and kind and good and harmonious, but if he cannot have his way, then he becomes rough and crude and changes completely. There is a third stage, when someone is more concerned with another person's wish and desire and less with himself, when his whole heart is seeking for what he can do for another. In his thought the other person comes first and he comes afterwards. That is the beginning of turning into a rose. It is only a rosebud, but then in the fourth stage this rosebud blooms in the person who entirely forgets himself in doing kind deeds for others."

In Spiritual Dimensions of Psychology Hazrat Inayat Khan explores the purification and training of the psyche, its use as a tool in spiritual growth, and the inner teachings of the mystics on meditation, contemplation, intuition, visionary dreams, inspiration, revelation. The revised edition includes three new chapters as well as additional material, all from original sources.

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

Focusing on the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, this series explores various aspects of Sufism, guiding readers towards inner peace. Each volume offers insights into understanding spirituality, emphasizing the transformative power of Sufi practices and philosophies.

Accomplishment in worldly affairs is seen as the means of developing the ability to achieve what one wishes, and ultimately to achieve the 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.

Zum Mittelpunkt des Lebens gelangenViele Leserinnen und Leser halten das Buch „Meisterschaft“ von Hazrat Inayat Khan für eines der hilfreichsten Werke seiner Lehren. Erfolgreich zu sein in weltlichen Angelegenheiten wird in diesem Band nicht als Hindernis auf dem spirituellen Pfad betrachtet. Vielmehr ist es ein geschicktes Mittel dafür, wie wir das erhalten, was wir uns wünschen. Dadurch erfüllen wir letztendlich auch die Bestimmung unseres Lebens.„Es ist nicht notwendig für uns Menschen, alle Angelegenheiten dieser Welt hinter uns zu lassen und uns in die Einsamkeit zurückzuziehen. Wir können unseren Geschäften, unserem Beruf und all unseren alltäglichen Pflichten nachgehen und gleichzeitig eine spirituelle Haltung, einen Geist der inneren Meisterschaft in uns entwickeln. Diese innere Meisterschaft ist nicht nur hilfreich dabei, weltliche Dinge und Angelegenheiten zu handhaben, sondern sie ist zugleich auch das, wodurch wir Menschen die Bestimmung unseres Lebens erfüllen.“ HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN
