People are everywhere to be found, but where is one to find a human being? Individuality is a given, says Hazrat Inayat Khan, but personality must be discovered and created. In a realized personality, the soul expresses its divine inheritance through its thoughts, words, and actions. Hazrat Inayat Khan explains, “Personality is the development of individuality, and in personality, which is formed by character-building, is born that spirit which is the rebirth of the soul.” Character building is described as the very substance of Sufism.

In our second series over the course of four classes this fall, all taught by Pir Zia, we explored the capacities of mind and heart that, when carefully contemplated and conscientiously enacted, ripen and refine an individual’s nature.

Recorded on Sunday, October 20, 2019 at the Astana in Richmond, VA – Part III: “Consciousness and Personality”
