"We are all limbs of the same body. When misfortune besets one part, the whole body feels the pain. No one’s suffering is separate from our own."
— Pir Zia Inayat Khan

This video is a live SAND Community Gathering hosted by Zaya & Maurizio Benazzo recorded October 2024.

Pir Zia Inayat Khan, a renowned spiritual teacher in the Sufi tradition, explored the practice of turning toward the heart — a fundamental concept in Sufism and many other spiritual paths.

Can we see the heart not just as a physical organ, but as a center of consciousness, wisdom, and divine connection?

Will this inner orientation lead us to greater self-awareness, compassion, and spiritual growth?

Drawing from Sufi wisdom and his own experience, Pir Zia offered insights on cultivating a heart-centered approach to life in a modern world that uplifts comfort to ignore suffering, and developing the ability to see where there is pain and hardship in order to bring healing there.

Together, we will explore the question, “How can we harmonize the inward journey with the outward call to stand for justice?”
