"The meaning of the word 'Sufism' is 'wisdom.' Wisdom is a knowledge acquired from within and without. Sufism is not only intuitive knowledge; it is knowledge acquired from life in the world, too. Sufism is not a religion, nor a cult or a doctrine. The best explanation of Sufism is that any person who has a knowledge of life outside and inside is a Sufi. For this reason, there has never been in any period of the world's history a founder of Sufism; and yet, Sufism has always existed."Among the oral teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927), collected and transcribed for private use by his murids, the Gathekas were specifically intended for taliban, or 'candidates' for initiation into the Sufi path. The Sanskrit word, gāthikā , refers to an epic poem or sacred song, and is consistent with the other music and poetry related titles he gave to most of his more focused teachings for murids. In this case, these are teachings meant to help seekers understand the fundamentals of the Sufi Message and the nature of the Sufi path.

Noor Inayat Khan was the eldest child of the renowned Indian philosopher Hazrat Inayat Kahn and his American wife Ameena Begum. Noor studied psychology and music in Paris and wrote stories for children, including the collection Twenty Jataka Tales, first published in 1939. Following the Nazi occupation of France, Noor was recruited by Winston Churchill's Special Operations Executive. As an undercover agent in Paris, she served as a key link between the SOE and the French Resistance. Betrayed and captured, she was executed at Dachau, posthumously receiving the George Cross and Croix de Guerre.

Noor (Noor-un-Nisa) Inayat Khan (1914-1944) is widely remembered as a hero and martyr of the Second World War. Some of those who honor her memory are aware that before the war she wrote stories for children. Until now, however, Noor's mystical drama "Aède of the Ocean and Land" has remained virtually unknown. A fantastical creation, "Aède" shines a revealing light on Noor's life and thought, reflecting her unique assimilation of the spiritual teachings of her father, Hazrat Inayat Khan. In "Aède," Noor combines elements of Greek myth, Sufi esotericism, and personal experience to produce a gripping and surprising retelling of the "Odyssey" of Homer. The protagonist wrestles with monsters, colloquizes with nymphs, and sails the Mediterranean in search of home. Will Ulys reattain domestic bliss in Ithaca or does another destiny await him?

An artful expression of Sufi teachings through the lens of a medieval Grail romance. Queen Belacane is dying. As a last act, she inscribes a book of counsels, or prince's mirror, to guide her newborn son on his life's path. The queen's counsels illuminate the way of futuwwa, a tradition of mystical chivalry traced to the Prophet Abraham. If the prince would unite the chivalries of Christendom and Islam and attain the Cup Mixed with Camphor, he must fulfill the pillars of his faith, and uphold the universal virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance, and generosity.
