Inayat Khan offered the lectures that were published as 'The Inner Life' at the Katwijk Summer School of 1922. The Sufi Magazine reported that 'the evening lectures on The Inner Life will never be forgotten by those whose privilege it was to hear them. Each was preceded by a silence of about half an hour. The whole atmosphere was charged with a singular harmony and peace, and the lectures themselves were full of beauty and inspiration.'
The publication of these lectures, later that year, was an immediate success and in the Netherlands, many students came to him after reading the book.
In his lectures, Inayat Khan pictures the inner life as a journey of the soul, captured in the physical body and maturing through its physical experience. He connects this journey to spiritual, moral, social, mental, and physical progress and also offers his readers a view on life from his own lofty standpoint of the accomplished soul.
The reflections in this book follow the original chapters of Inayat Khan's book and draw from the richness of Indian philosophy and spirituality with an emphasis on the Sufi psychology of the soul in combination with the Hindu teachings of consciousness and sadhana (accomplishment).
