The Inner School of the International Sufi Movement is the Activity dedicated to inner culture, the realization of the Self. This path is understood as a serious endeavor, 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 [or her] 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." Hazrat Inayat Khan
