The Sufi Message Vol. 4 (Mental Purification And Healing)

Sufi hazrat inayat khan (baroda 1982 - delhi 1927) provides a beautiful guidebook for your inner path. It contains neither prescriptions nor do's and don'ts. You may be provided with an insight and understanding which may be as a welcome in the circle of sufi friends, or as a silent companion on your further way. This is the fourth volume of the sufi message by hazrat inayat khan. It includes three works: the first, healing is a collection of teachings on spiritual healing. In this work the suri mystic discusses the basic laws governing the mind's influence on the body, which he considers greater than that of the physical body on the mental existence and he emphasizes the need for a stronger awareness of the possibilities which spiritual healing can offer. Mental purification is a collection of lectures on the working and hygiene of the mind in relation to the spirit. This part conveys in a beautiful way the synthesis that can be gained between inner life and life in the world. The volume concludes with the mind world - which in the terms of the sufi poets is called 'the palace of mirrors' - an expression which inayat khan takes as symbolizing on different levels, the whole of life.
