The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan Vol. 7 Centennial Edition: In an Eastern Rose Garden

Teachings on freedom and human wholeness
"This seventh volume of the Centennial Edition of the Sufi Message series takes as its leading idea that of freedom. All beings pursue freedom since freedom is an essential quality of the soul. Too often, however, one person's ostensible freedom is achieved at the expense of that of someone else. A truer freedom arises from the realization of interconnectedness.

In the end, In an Eastern Rose Garden is a book about human wholeness. Peace and creativity, freedom and friendship, aristocracy and democracy, the inner and the outer--in the reconciliation of each of these pairs of seeming contraries lies the realization of the purpose for which we were created."
