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 Bayat or 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."

Every seeker after truth must remember one thing: that the first step in the path of truth is to become true to oneself.

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.
