The Inner School
The Inner School of the Sufi Movement is the Activity dedicated to inner culture, the realization of the Self. This path is understood as a serious endeavour, entered upon by taking initiation through a guide or teacher.
"Words can explain all things that are comprehensible, but for the soul, which passes beyond human comprehension, words are too inadequate. But the question, "How can a person then realize his soul?" can be answered, "By the inner culture." Initiation only means a step forward, a step which should be taken with hope and courage, for without courage and hope it would be most difficult to take any forward step."
Quote by Hazrat Inayat Khan
"The Inner School of the Sufi Movement, or Esoteric School of Inner Culture, called Sufi Order, (according the constitution of the Sufi Movement), is a core activity. Its purpose is to give guidance to those who – inspired by the Sufi message – have a deep longing to follow the spiritual path."
