Life is a Pilgrimage is an inspiring and thought provoking selection of the discourses sent by Sufi teacher Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan to his students from 1983 to 2004. In these pages he offers spiritual guidance and insight on world affairs, meditation and everyday life, science and faith, psychology and addiction, freedom and creativity, mastery and service, leadership, death and resurrection.

“Pir Vilayat’s brilliant understanding and his embodiment of that lovely, hilarious, grieving, courageous, magnificent mystery called Sufism, or the lineage of the Sufi masters, was and is a great gift to Western Civilization”. -Coleman Barks, poet and translator of Rumi.

“Pir Vilayat was an elegant writer as well as a captivating speaker. But his genius lay in transcending boundaries - cultural, philosophical, and religious - and thinking like the universe” . -Yoga Journal
