For the Sufis, the mind is not the only place of consciousness in humans. There are other, finer centers, of which the heart is the most important. The heart is the place of enlightenment and can perceive the truth directly. However, for this to happen, it must be awakened - meditation is a means to achieve this. In this book, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan has compiled texts from the work of his father, Hazrat Inayat Khan, for daily meditation. For Pir Vilayat, the moments one takes to meditate are the most important moments of our lives. Meditation and spiritual practice not only create a conscious stillness of thoughts but also serve as a reflection on the soul's purpose and as guidance in life.
