That Which Transpires Behind That Which Appears By Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan uses the experience of a three-day retreat to explore Sufi spiritual practice. Meditation and teaching are brought together in a discussion of the relationship between inner experience, the wider universe and ordinary life.

The retreat is presented as a pause for reflection and preparation for living, rather than an escape from the world. This book offers the author’s practical and contemplative perspective on the experience of Sufism.
