Description
This is the third volume of the Indian edition of all the works of Hazrat Inayat Khan, the great Sufi mystic who lectured and taught in the western world. This book and other volumes in this series contain his lectures, discourses and other teachings as taken down in shorthand.
The complete series contains fourteen volumes. Each volume is complete in itself, and therefore may be read without any necessity to study following or previous ones. However, one may get a spiritual and mental appetite to continue reading . One will find that a meditative way of reading will convey not only the words but also the spiritual power emanating from them, tuning mind, heart and soul to the pitch which is one's own.
In this volume, a substantial part of Hazrat Inayat Khan’s writings and lectures on human relationship has been collected. There is his book ‘Education’ which contains a treasure of advice on the upbringing of children, soundly practical and imbued with spiritual ideals at the same time. ‘Rasa Shastra’ is an exposition of Hazrat Inayat Khan’s view on sex-life: the problem of creation and of the relationship between man and woman. And in ‘Character Building and the Art of Personality’ and in ‘Moral Culture’ one will find an explanation of the fundamentals which motivate the human attitude both of individuals towards themselves and towards society in general.
