The purpose of the International Sufi Movement is to work towards unity, [the ideal of Universal Sufism and the Religion of the Heart]. Its main object is to bring humanity, divided as it is into so many different sections, closer together in the deeper understanding of life. It is a preparation for a world service, chiefly in three ways. One way is the philosophical understanding of life; another is bringing about brotherhood and sisterhood among races, nations and creeds; and the third way is the meeting of the world’s greatest need, which is the religion of the day. Its work is to bring to the world that natural religion which has always been the religion of humanity: to respect one another’s beliefs, scripture, and teacher.

Beloved Sisters and Brothers,
Hazrat Inayat Khan was an inspiring Murshid (teacher), who taught that the main objective of Universal Sufism "is the same as which Christ has taught: love your neighbor."
No matter what particular religious tradition or faith we follow, may we be liberated in the truth that unites the "whole humanity as one body" whose spirit is God.
With loving regards and prayers for an enlightened world,Nuria and KarimaGita
Social Gatheka, No. 6, Part 2-Excerpts, by Hazrat Inayat KhanThe Mission of Sufism to the World
The Sufi mission looks upon the whole humanity as one body, all races different parts of that body, all nations its organs, the people the particles which make this body and the spirit of this body, God. As the health and happiness of the body depends on each of its particles being in good condition so the happiness and peace of the whole world and the people therein depend on the condition of one another. The Sufi mission does not invite people to believe in superstitions, to take an interest in wonder-working or to increase power or to investigate phenomena. Its main object is the same which Christ has taught: love your neighbour. To individuals the Sufi mission has a different duty.
The Murshid (teacher)...kindle(s) in the heart...the divine spirit which is man's heritage. There is no particular discipline nor a particular faith which is forced upon [a person]. Every [person] is free to think for himself. Murshid's whole idea is to liberate the soul of the seeker after truth.

Beloved Sisters and Brothers,

The Sufi Message does not expect a person to give up their own religion or faith. It is a stream of wisdom and understanding that supplies water to the many faiths of the world, as fields that all belong to God.

May the stream of this message flow through our heart, upon the field of our faith.

With loving regards and prayers for an enlightened world,
Nuria and KarimaGita
