The International Headquarters of the Sufi Movement Office of the Representative-General and the President of the International Publications Committee O Sufi, did you know that “inner realization” is like being on a ship with which one is sailing on the great waters of Love, Harmony and Beauty, guided by the compass of the Spirit of Guidance, and driven by the energy of Spiritual Liberty, heading toward the goal of the annihilation of the ego, where one may begin at last to realize that the sailor is a ray of the Divine Presence, sailing in the past, present and future on the waves of our illusions.

Dear friends, It is not only necessary that we cleanse our body, but is also very important that we are aware of the purity of our thoughts and feelings. In volume IV of the Sufi Message, Mental Purification, page 99, Hazrat Inayat Khan’s words are: “In as much as it is necessary to cleanse and purify the body, so necessary, or perhaps even more necessary, is it that the mind be cleansed and purified. All impurity causes diseases as well as irregularity in the working of the physical system. The same applies to the mind. There are impurities belonging to the mind which may cause different diseases, and by cleansing the mind one helps to create health both in body and mind. By health I mean the natural condition. And what is spirituality but to be natural? Very few think like this. So many people think that to be spiritual means to be able to work wonders, to be able to see strange things, wonderful phenomena; and very few know how simple it is, that to be spiritual means to be natural”. It is not only important for our own health that we have no negative thoughts and feelings, but our mind influences everybody and everything around us. What a great responsibility do we have! With loving greetings, Sattva.
