Book Summary
An essential work by the Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan that addresses inner cleansing as a path to holistic health.

Editorial review
A brief but profound work that offers an unconventional view of Sufism, far from exoticism and centered on the daily practice of inner purification. Hazrat Inayat Khan manages to connect spiritual concepts with mental health in a clear and direct way, making it accessible both to initiates and those approaching this tradition for the first time. His focus on naturalness as the essence of spirituality can be especially revealing in a context where the spiritual is often associated with the extraordinary.
