Description
There is more to Sufism than mere words or ideas. Sufism is not a theory. It possesses no dogma. Simply said, Sufism is a way of life, an attitude towards living. Its roots are deep in the rich spiritual soil of ancient Egypt, but the flowering of Islam brought forth further developments which led to its status as a holy way of living; an ideal which strives to keep the balance between the inner and outer world. This highly accomplished and deeply spiritual book is an exploration of the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the great Indian mystic who modernized the age-old wisdom of Sufism at the turn of the century. To this end he created the Universal Worship with the aim of joining all religions together in one inspiring religious service. - Back cover.
