Sufi Order in the West
Sufi Order in the West. Established in London in 1910 by Hazrat Inyat Khan (1882–1927), from Baroda, India. He was succeeded by Pir Vilayat Inyat Khan (b. 1916), eldest son of the founder. The stated aims of the Order are to provide a vehicle for the transmission of spiritual truth in a manner that is consistent with modern, Western culture, and generally to act as a bridge between East and West. This form of the Sūfī way focuses on the evolution of consciousness by realizing the common ground on which all things rest. This is referred to as the state of ‘the one’, the reality of the absolute which people strive to attain and which is found in God, Buddha, and Christ.
