The Alchemy of Happiness

The Alchemy of Happiness – Hazrat Inayat Khan

A Sufi message of spiritual liberty

Inayat Khan always insisted that spiritual or mystical aspirations are of no avail if one’s life is not lived as it should be. Under this title, forty lectures are collected that deal with life in all its aspects.

“In this sixth volume of the Centennial Edition of the Sufi Message series, Hazrat Inayat Khan approaches the question of happiness from various angles. Sometimes the context is a discussion of desire, other times an analysis of ethics. What links these investigations is that, in every case, Hazrat identifies happiness with the soul. ‘Happiness is your own being, your own self, that self that is the most precious thing in life.’ From this perspective, happiness is something to be discovered rather than acquired.”
