Heart of a Sufi e-bog

Heart of a Sufi provides contemporary Sufi teaching practices evoked by Fazal Inayat-Khan (1942-1990). This volume shows the impact of Fazal's passion for truth on his friends and associates who offer a pointer to the achievement of self-realisation. At the age of 26, Fazal Inayat-Khan became the head of the Sufi Movement founded by his grandfather, Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan who introduced Sufism to the West. Fazal's particular style and message impart a variety of insights that provoke questions and contemplations. This volume has been produced to mark the twentieth anniversary of Fazal's sudden death. Contributors either studied with him or have been inspired by the controversial nature of his work, which stimulates the innermost exploration towards self-knowledge.Professionally also known as Frank Kevlin, Fazal saw psychology moving towards the integration of spiritual traditions with scientific insights. He translated these findings into contemporary language and practices. Whilst some considered his work as controversial in nature, Fazal sought the expansion of consciousness in the context of transpersonal psychology. He created his own path, Sufi Way, and attempted to mirror encounters with others that would open a mutual space of understanding and inclusivity. A deeper perception of what it means to be human is at the core of Heart of a Sufi, a collection of writings by those whose lives were touched by the involving, experiential approach of Fazal Inayat-Khan.
