163. The Sufi Way To Human Development An introduction to Octagon Press, the work of Idries Shah and his consistent restatement of the sufi position with its relevance to the real needs of our time. http://www.clearlight.com/octagon/index.shtml

The World of Nasrudin by Idries Shah Publication Date: 9th September, 2003 Octagon Press and the Sufi Way Students of Sufi thought and Sufism in the latter part of the 20th century, have found in Octagon Press a primary source of contemporary information by and about the Sufis, past and present. The thirty and more works by Idries Shah published in that period present his experiential psychology in the Sufi manner, ranging between studies of human nature and its frailties, and the way forward for human development. One of the problems is to find what we need rather than what we want. Here is a quotation from Shah's The Way of the Sufi: "The success of man in raising himself higher comes through the right effort and the right method, not merely by concentrating on the right aspiration or upon the words of others directed to yet others. It is as it were a trap laid for the ignoble element in you when a man, a book, a ceremonial, an organisation, a method, appears directly or by recommendation, to have something applicable to all, or attracts you strongly though incorrectly." These themes and many others are explored in the books published by Octagon Press.

PVK THE HUMAN SOUL is continually seeking to realize its true being and fulfill its purpose in life. This can be seen not only in each individual's yearning to realize to the fullest the potentialities inherent in his or her being, but also in the unfoldment of our collective being towards the highest expression of human existence. The consciousness of humanity is awakening to the interrelatedness of all life, and this is reflected in the new holistic understanding of the universe emerging in all spheres of human experience today. We can see this trend in the growing concern for

167. Chandra And Davids Qawwali Page (Qawali, Quawali, Kawali) - Isalamic Devotional A page about the sufi devotional musical form, as performed in Pakistan and India today. http://chandrakantha.com/articles/indian_music/kawali.html

QAWWALI PAGE Islamic Devotional Music by David Courtney, Ph.D. INTRODUCTION Qawwali is the traditional form of Islamic song found in India and Pakistan. The word qawwali is derived from the Arabic word Qaol which means "axiom" or "dictum". A Qawwal is one who sings qawwali , or the dictums of the prophets and praises of God. The Qawwali is closely linked to the spiritual and artistic life of northern India and Pakistan. SPIRITUAL ASPECT OF QAWWALI The qawwali is inextricably linked to the Sufi tradition; Sufism is a mystical school of Islamic thought which strives to attain truth and divine love by direct personal experience. In Arabic, this mysticism is known as tasawwuf . The difference between Sufism and mainstream Islam is simple. All Muslims believe that man is on a path to God (tariqah) . However, where the mainstream Muslim believes that it is only possible to reach God after death at the final judgement, the Sufi believes that it is possible to reach God during ones life. To this end there are a number of different techniques and methods. The Koran instructs man to remember God. This remembrance, known as
