 Supergem! April 20, 2007
There are gems, and here are Gems!
This is the sort of gems that not only is beautiful in the moment, but actually follows with me, giving me validation of my own experiences as well. The kind of wisdom that is crystalclear and seemingly straigh forward, yet lucid and beautiful. Its the kind of truth that you know is right, but hadnt thought out yet..!;)
For short: Its the book you want, if what you want is direction, guidance and wisdom. And it is all common sense! No "let the stars make it go well for you" crap!
Personal bible it sure is!:)

This book, I certainly can agree and wholeheartedly say is my personal bible as I see it is to many others . Hazrat Inayat Khan speaks in such beautiful, and sweet manner he truly can speak to your soul - though written many years ago. Admittedly, when I first read it,I believed it was written fairly recently!! A wonderful compliment to this book is ' Illuminated Rumi'
My Own Personal Bible December 3, 1997

Not being a religious person, and having no recognizable beliefs in the matter of religion or God, many of my friends were surprised to hear me refer to this book as "My own personal bible". Hazrat Inayat Khan, a Sufi master and enlightened coach for the western world, writes here his apolitical, non-denominational, personal manifesto of all that he found to be worthwhile and valuable in this collective agreement we call reality. Although he wrote other books, it is this one which I consider to be his definitive work. I read the book once and found so much relevant life-altering material, that I resolved to read it again and highlight the most important parts for easier future reference. After highlighting over 50% of the first two chapters, I stopped. I was highlighting almost the entire book! "The Art of Being and Becoming" by Hazrat Inayat Khan is a book full of practical advice which actually has the capability to enlighten the reader just through reading. He calls all of us to be as great and magnificent as he. This book makes him truly immortal, as one can perceive the beautiful person that is Hazrat Inayat Khan flowing like a river from the pages of this book.
