While these teachings bear an undeniable relation to traditional Sufi descriptions of life before birth and after death, Hazrat's articulation of the soul's journey is remarkable for the freshness and precision of its vision.</p><p> The last of the books collected in this volume, <strong> "The Purpose of Life,"</strong> addresses the perennial question of the meaning of life. Inayat Khan explains that the whole of manifestation derives from God's desire to be known and that all human endeavors must at last merge into the path that leads to God. He memorably observes, "The purpose of life is fulfilled in rising to the greatest heights and in diving to the deepest depths of life, in widening the sphere of one's horizon, in penetrating life in all its spheres, in losing oneself, and in finding oneself in the end."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Few writers have been as important to the understanding of Islamic mysticism as Hazrat Inayat Khan...These writings are an eloquent introduction to a spiritual path that encourages seekers to discover their inner spirituality amidst the business of everyday life."</p> <ul> <li><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></li> </ul> <p>"Inayat Khan's insistence on the unity of mysticism and the oneness of God, along with his openness to all spiritual paths, is an important corrective to sectarianism and<br /> Western misperception of Islam as sectarian."</p> <ul> <li><strong>Booklist review</strong></li> </ul> <p>"One comes to appreciate the prophetic modernism of Hazrat Khan's thinking. He was remarkable ahead of his age in recognizing the widening role of women in the spiritual awakening of the new age. He appreciated the openness of American to Eastern wisdom, but was cautious of the tendencies of the American public to latch onto the newest fads from the East with superficial commitment. His view on art and education for the new age are both humane and visionary." - <strong>Yoga Journal </strong></p> <p>"Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan was one of the most prolific and well-known of the Sufi shaykhs of the modern age, a spiritual guide in the lineage of the Chistiyya order."</p> <ul> <li><strong>Professor Jane I.
