| In order to help you gain a perspective on the
philosophy of the Sufi Order International, I've included some quotations
from it's founder, Hazrat Inayat Khan. These quotations are organized by
topic. |

A thought for personal health
To care about one's health is the most religious thing
there is, because it is the health of body and mind that enables one to do
service to God and to one's fellow-men, by which one accomplishes one's
life's purpose. One should think, 'I come from a perfect source and I am
bound for a perfect goal. The light of the perfect Being is kindled in my
soul. I live, move, and have my being in God; and nothing in the world, of
the past or present, has power to touch me if I rise above all.'

| A
note about gender-inclusive language: Although the language in the
most frequently recited prayers has been revised in consideration of
present-day awareness, much of the language in Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan's
published works reflects a grammar in which possessive and collective
pronouns always took the masculine form. In most cases, we have left the
language in its original form. It should be remembered that Pir-o-Murshid,
both in word and deed, always taught that the role of women was never to
be considered as secondary, or subordinate to the role of men in any way. |
