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 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 themind`s influence on the body, which he considers greater thanthat of the physical body on the mental existence, and he emphasises 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 symbolising on different levels, the whole of life.
