Book Reviews of Call of the Dervish

Book Review: One of the gems in my book collection
Summary: 5 Stars

(I have the 1981 publication of this book.)

I love anything Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan writes. He communicates in a real and simple way. The truth he speaks just shoots right into me with such familiarity. I had the wonderful opportunity of seeing him in person years ago, and I'd never experienced such a genuine aliveness and brightness as his spirit radiated. Clear, honest, and beautiful! I have gained much from his teachings.

A few random lines I have highlighted in this book...

"Instead of cutting ourselves away from physical reality, we want to be able to be conscious in our higher consciousness and at the same time function from the physical plane, seeing physical reality in its relativity without letting it draw us down into its limitation."

"You bring your world wherever you go. You don't have to get into other people's trips; you can keep on maintaining your attunement."

"All these people are rushing here and there and they are all intoxicated on their own trips."

"Your ideals must be replaced by insight."

"The ultimate illusion is limitation."

"Nothing exists except God.

"There is no such thing as personal thinking. It is the universe that is thinking."
