This is one of the most profound spiritual interviews I've ever watched. He is indeed a great spiritual teacher and a lightworker! I'm touched by his depth, eloquence, calm character and thorough knowledge about divine wisdom. This interview introduced me to this great man and took my spirit to a vaster place.. Thanks Pir Zia Inayat khan for being you!
I'm a Muslim. I find most of this above my level of understanding. I like Sufism because it is very inclusive to all religions. I believe all religions in their purest form are somewhat Sufi like, Tolerance and path to the Divine, free from politics and dogma. Merry Christmas 🤣
A beautiful conversation , remarkable that every topic discussed seems even more relevant more than a decade later. Pir Zia not only embodies presence but also the inner and outer history of the Sufi Alchemists! Mashallah 💕🙏
Pir Zia Inayat Khan is, indeed, a spiritual sublimity, as lofty words are expected to fall from the lips of those who are spiritually elevated. He is bestowed with the grace of Allah through sufi Inayat Khan. May Allah lift him on higher maqam (station) of esoteric openings and enable him to share divine knowledge with and guide the seekers.
He is a Mahatma, a great Soul. and my heart feels grateful to watch and listen to him speak, and the planet is graced by his presence, and he inspires me to let go of my personal, egoic desires and goals and empty myself of myself so that I may be used by God, by the Divine, and I may be a servant of Thy peace.
I have been living all this for several years. Nice to learn from someone who describes these issues and questions in English. It appealed both to my rational mind as well as my mystic and occult sensitivities!
Pir Zia you are giving us hope for a better world God bless you N bless your Heart n sweet tongue As an Egyptian there was always the question whether The Hieroglyphs could be deciphered by a mystic.?
I just came to find about more about this man after having heard his intelligent and sensitive interviewing of William Irwin Thompson. I enjoyed learning of his viewpoint here. There is an obvious crossover with Peter Kingsley from the more Hellenic side. It sounds like Sufism has always been more Perennialist than I'd known.
+Davidius Doremouseius I'm a Christian too and Sufism feels really good to me. I'm not bothered by Mohammed (PBUH), tho, so it's all smooth sailing for me. One way you may be able to gain from this is by - yes, I'm gonna use this word - appropriating their idea of Ethics. Ethics, like water to tea, is infused by religion (or visa versa), but it can also exist separately from it. You can adopt the Ethical ideals easily without having to "believe" the religion of Islam. You'll prolly have to learn some Arabic, tho, because the concepts are so highly developed that they may have 20 words for something we only have 3 words for. And this has to be learned. Peace.
Zia Inayat-Khan 's experience of western traditions includes a PhD from Duke University. Each person can decide for himself how significant a proportion of his overall perspective and understanding that represents.
The unwritten word from GOD to Abraham. The Persian people welcomed the many Hebrews. It was the Persian Writers that helped to write the Kaballah in the first language.The Sufi uses these "First words GOD Spoke" as a path to all that is.❤ Advita (1980) Pir gave me my name.
What if I love Sufism but do not believe in Mohammad and the Quran ? I am, or call myself ''Christian''. Yet Sufism has always attracted and fascinated me. Please do not take offenc and my comments :-)
He mentions a mystic, whose name I can't spell, who gets information from Aristotle in a dream, and then tells what that info is. Amazingly, Pir Zia Inayat-Khan doesn't tell us what that information is! Can anyone tell us where to find that info from Aristotle?

Beautiful🌹 so eloquent and profound. SubhanAllah, JazakAllah Khair 💗
I have been into sufism for some time now. pir Zia relates Sufism to the present day so beautifully and so convincingly that he is blessing to all.
He is a Mahatma, a great Soul. and my heart feels grateful to watch and listen to him speak, and the planet is graced by his presence, and he inspires me to let go of my personal, egoic desires and goals and empty myself of myself so that I may be used by God, by the Divine, and I may be a servant of Thy peace.
Thank you for such an inspiring interview
