Things of heaven cannot be obtained by perseverance they are the grace of God. To open to this and trust in it is how belief is crystallized into faith.

When one looks at the ocean, they can only see that part of it which comes within their range of vision so it is with the truth.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
The one thing to rely upon is God's favor. Do not build either on your study or on your meditation, although they both help you. But you are dependent on God, not even on your murshid. Seek Him, trust Him. In Him lies your life's purpose, and in Him is hidden the rest of your soul.

Music seems to be the bridge over the gulf between form and the formless.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
The discrimination between good and evil is in man's soul. Every man can judge that for himself, because in every man is the sense of admiration of beauty. Happiness only lies in thinking or doing that which one considers beautiful. Such an act becomes a virtue or goodness.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Every man's path is for himself let him accomplish his own desires that he may thus be able to rise above them to the eternal goal.

Music should be healing. Music should uplift the soul. Music should inspire.
