More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
All ignorance is the lack of love.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
It is through this physical body that the highest and greatest purpose of life is achieved. A person only calls it the physical body in ignorance. Once the knowledge has come...he begins to look upon it as the sacred temple of God.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
I have seen all souls as my soul, and realized my soul as the soul of all.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
All names and forms are the garbs and covers under which the one life is hidden.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
We grown-up people think that we appreciate music, but if we realized the sense that an infant has brought with it of appreciating sound and rhythm, we would never boast of knowing music. The infant is music itself.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Toward the One, the perfection of love, harmony and beauty, the only being, united with all the illuminated souls who form the embodiment of the master, the spirit of guidance.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Divine sound is the cause of all manifestation. The knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The existence of illness in the body may no doubt be called a shadow of the true illness which is held by man in his mind.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Now if I do anything it is to tune souls instead of instruments. To harmonize people instead of notes. If there is anything in my philosophy, it is the law of harmony: that one must put oneself in harmony with oneself and with others.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Spiritual progress is the changing of the point of view.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The voice is not only indicative of man's character, but it is the expression of his spirit. Other sounds can be louder than the voice, but no sound can be more living.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
He is thoughtful whose mind is directed by his will, whose mind fulfills his intentions, whose mind is under the control of his intention... It is not till a person has gained mastery over his mind, till he is above this activity, that he is a ruling power, a true person.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Externally we are a single being, but internally we are a world.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The greatest is to have a tendency to friendship this is expressed in the form of tolerance and forgiveness, in the form of service and trust. In whatever form he may express it this is the central theme: the constant desire to prove one's love for humanity, to be the friend of all.
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.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
One day, music will take its rightful place as the true religion of Mankind.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
For a musician, music is the best way to unite with God.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Sarcasm is an abuse of the intellect.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The only way to live in the midst of inharmonious influences is to strengthen the will power and endure all things, yet keeping fineness of character and nobility of manner together with an everlasting heart full of love.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
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
